  284. Phaneroscopy is the description of the phaneron; and
by the phaneron I mean the collective total of all that is in any
way or in any sense present to the mind, quite regardless of
whether it corresponds to any real thing or not. If you ask
present when, and to whose mind, I reply that I leave these
questions unanswered, never having entertained a doubt that
those features of the phaneron that I have found in my mind
are present at all times and to all minds. So far as I have
developed this science of phaneroscopy, it is occupied with the
formal elements of the phaneron. I know that there is another
series of elements imperfectly represented by Hegel's
Categories. But I have been unable to give any satisfactory
account of them.
