Discussion
In Sri Aurobindo's philosophy "that state of common self-existence in which the knower and the known are one through knowledge" refers to which of the following ?
Answer: B
The state described is intuition.
Sri Aurobindo, in The Life Divine, distinguishes reason, which knows by dividing subject from object, from intuition, which is a power of consciousness nearer to the original knowledge by identity. In intuition the knower and the known are one through knowledge, sharing a common self-existence; this is the description the question quotes.
Reason works by separation and inference, so it is the opposite. 'Intentionality of consciousness' is Husserl's term, not Aurobindo's, and 'supraintentional consciousness' is not a stage in his scheme of knowing.
