Scientologie, Wissenschaft von der Beschaffenheit und der Tauglichkeit des Wissens (''Scientology: Science of the Constitution and Usefulness of Knowledge'') is a 1934 book published by Dr. Anastasius Nordenholz, in which he defines the term "Scientologie" or "Eidologie" as a science of knowing or knowledge and discusses the philosophical implications of the concept. The book has been cited by some as a possible source of inspiration for L. Ron Hubbard and his better-known conception of Scientology, though this interpretation is disputed. ==Summary of the book== Nordenholz highlights the problem of isolating knowledge as "a particular appearance of the world." He asks: :"What is Knowing? What IS Knowledge? What can we know, what must we know about Knowledge/Knowing, to do justice to and to justify the world? The question is thus nothing less than self-knowing, determination of the nature of self, and also of self-realization and self-understanding of Knowledge/Knowing. Is this possible? If possible, how can the systemization of Knowledge/Knowing itself be accomplished? How can a Science of Knowledge/Knowing be produced?" After establishing a number of definitions, he concludes that :"the world is nothing but knowledge, merely an extraction from knowing....Only out of the equally valued mutual operation of Knowledge/Knowing as shaper & creator, and world as created & shaped, is it possible to arrive at the true science of the world....Out of this circumstance comes the right of Scientologie to treat the world as belonging to its counterpart, as an appendage of the consciousness." He goes on to assert that human consciousness can be raised to a position of independence, or isolation, but notes that "The consciousness, which always remains a part and particular creation of the world, is incompetent to create from a nothingness because of this very worldliness. In order for the consciousness to be able to create, it has to first find a fountainhead source out of which it can create, and this Something is a Beingness." Nordenholz next introduces the concept of a number of axioms and systems which "stand of their own power and dignity, ''as if'' they were capable of, but do not need, a verification or confirmation from another source." He defines the structure of Scientologie: :1. In axioms: exposition of the axioms and the axiom systems of consciousness. :2. In systems: erection of the forming or moulding system of the consciousnesses, the comprehension system of the reason, all form the axiom system. :3. In demonstration: justification of the produced comprehension systems and with that, working back to the underlying basis of the axiom systems. :4. In study of the origin, nature, methods, and limits of knowledge: establishment of the Total-system of sciences from the foundation of Scientologie systems of knowledge and comprehension. Nordenholz held that the most important axiom was the Axiom of Mediation: :"The consciousness, nominated as the creator of the world, presupposes a wellspring, a source, out of which it can scoop; a Being, which somehow and in some measure can be reached thru consciousness, but which exists there by itself BEFORE and independent from the consciousness. The assumption of a creator activity of the consciousness is dependent upon the Standing Orders of self-primordial, free, detached, absolute Beings, the By-Itself-Being(s)." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scientologie, Wissenschaft von der Beschaffenheit und der Tauglichkeit des Wissens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
