To recap the argument as a whole: Having begun with mutually corroborating individual and communal appeals to experience to establish what he takes to be a fact, namely, that our twofold
noetic experience of ourselves and others is valuational, Ogden then argues for a further
noetic sense of an encompassing whole
in addition to such a twofold sense of the worth of self and others.25 Finally, he argues
in correlational fashion that such a threefold
noetic experience of valuation presupposes as the condition of its possibility an ontic whole to be experienced.
In other words, Ogden's analysis of various descriptions of experience is informed by two distinctions, both of which apply to the
noetic pole of experience: a twofold distinction between nonsensuous and sensory modes of experience and a threefold distinction of what Whitehead calls «the feeling of the ego, the others, the totality,» that is, of self, other, and whole (PP 84).8 This comprehensive hermeneutical grid then permits an explanation of what he claims is a «sense of ourselves and others as of transcendent worth,» as precisely an «awareness of ourselves and the world as of worth to God» (PP 86f) Y Ogden notes that such an evidently theistic explanation is not open to empirical or experiential confirmation on either of the two more restrictive descriptions which, as he observes, must either «refer the word God» to some merely creaturely reality or process of interaction, or else., must deny it all reference whatever by construing its meaning as wholly noncognitive,» if they seek experiential illustration for such a sense at all (PP 80) 10
On the basis of such a distinction, it is open to one to understand the structure of experience
in the following way: With respect to the immediate relation of awareness to its data, experience is to be understood as an asymmetrical relation of dependence of the
noetic upon the ontic pole, whereas, with respect to the mediated relation of cognition and its data, experience is to be understood as the asymmetrical relation of dependence of the ontic on the
noetic pole.
The issue of the structure of experience is often discussed as a choice between two epistemological theories: «realism» (

noetic).
