S. S. Horužija antropoloģiskais pagrieziens: uz filozofijas, teoloģijas, psiholoģijas un fizikas robežas // Anthropological Shift by S. S. Horuzhy: a…

The article is dedicated to the problem of anthropological shift in humanities. S. S. Horuzhy, a prominent expert in the field of sciences and philosophy, proposes a new anthropological model based on Hesychast doctrine of man to become the universal ground for all humanities. Although the dialogical perspective by S.S. Horuzhy seems to be rather profound, it however becomes inadequate in the researches on the non-dialogical, i.e. monistic worldview.

Наука и вера: иллюзия конфликта и точки соприкосновения (Zinātne un ticība: konflikta ilūzija un saskares punkti)

2017

Борьба за умы и души продолжается, как на религиозном фронте, так и на научном. Новые идеологи, вроде Доккинза и сотоварищей, твердят о эволюции как причине всего, в том числе, морали, веры и альтруизма. Однако, периодически, видя, обнадеживающие материалы ученых, хотел бы привести положительный пример, характеризующий взаимодействие религии, веры и науки, логики и рационализма. Такой пример прекрасно изложен в книге английского ученого-биофизика Алистера Макграта «Кто изобрел Вселенную?». (Par sirdīm un prātiem cīņa turpinās kā reliģiskajā tā zinātniskajā frontē. Jauni ideologi, piemēram, Dokinzs un kompanjoni, runā par evolūciju kā cēloni visam, ieskaitot morāli, ticību un altruismu. Tomē…

Generalization of thermodynamics allowing negentropic entanglement and a model for conscious information processing

2011

Costa de Beauregard considers a model for information processing by a computer based on an analogy with Carnot's heat engine. I am grateful for Stephen Paul King for bringing this article to my attention in Time discussion group and also for inspiring discussions which also led to the birth of this section. As such the model Beauregard for computer does not look convincing as a model for what happens in biological information processing. Combined with TGD based vision about living matter, the model however inspires a model for how conscious information is generated and how the second law of thermodynamics must be modified in TGD framework. The basic formulas of thermodynamics remain as such…

On Overcoming the Alleged Alienation between Christianity and Physics

2023

The difference of mindsets is considered the main cause of alienation between Christianity and Physics: trust in high cognitive value of ordinary experience and language (Christianity) versus estimated low cognitive value (Physics). The Catholic tradition encourages to trust into a high cognitive value of ordinary experience and language. As samples are presented a certain ambivalence intrinsic to the method of Physics and a logical mistake that has led to the concept of particle-wave dualism.

Why is it not so easy for a present-day physicist to be genuinely a Christian?

2020

Natural Realism and Physics are two ways of relating to our material world. This article provides some basic characteristics of both and derives two joined reasons why Physics is, partially, at odds with Natural Realism. The first reason consists in that present-day Physics is based on models of reality which involve several severe methodical reductionisms. From that derives the second reason, which is the difference of epistemological climates of Natural Realism and Physics. The difference is that the intelligibility of material things is esteemed low in Physics and high in Natural Realism. Natural Realism suggests that it should be possible to overcome that unsatisfactory state of affairs…

Warum ist es für einen heutigen Physiker nicht so einfach, durch und durch Christ zu sein?

2020

Natürlicher Realismus und Physik sind zwei Arten, unsere materielle Welt zu verstehen. In diesem Artikel werden einige grundlegende Merkmale beider Arten dargelegt und daraus zwei verbundene Gründe abgeleitet, weshalb die Physik teilweise im Widerspruch zum natürlichen Realismus steht. Der erste Grund besteht darin, dass die heutige Physik auf Modellen der Realität basiert, welche mehrere weitreichende methodische Verkürzungen beinhalten. Daraus resultiert der zweite Grund, nämlich der Unterschied zwischen den erkenntnistheoretischen Klimata des natürlichen Realismus und der Physik. Der Unterschied besteht darin, dass die Einsehbarkeit materieller Dinge in der Physik als gering eingestuft w…
