Abstract
The second part of the article substantiates the possibility of the genesis of the general concept of number and natural numbers in the individual consciousness on the basis of innate ideas of Self and nonSelf and the ability for cognitive actions. The concepts of time and consciousness are taken as the primary concepts with which the genesis of the concept of number begins. To describe the temporal structure of consciousness, we use the model of fibered time defined on the basis of linear physical time, which was discussed in the first part (Philosophy of Science, 2015, No. 4 (67), pp. 48-69). The concepts of Self and nonSelf are defined as a single temporal cycle in consciousness. We also introduce the concepts of positive temporal one, negative temporal one and temporal zero.
