2021

The item is a handout for a seminar session held on 21.09.2021 at the Dpt. of Philosophy of the University of Navarre, Pamplona, Spain The presentation approaches the question "Why is there Mathematics in Physics" from the starting point of reductionisms in Physics. If these reductionisms are omitted, the consequences drawn from "prescientific" experience turn out to be the beginning of answering the said question.

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?

2021

A short description of the relationship between Physics, Philosophy and Theology is: Physics neglects or passes by Natural Realism, which is the origin of Philosophy. In turn, Natural Realism is backed up by Judeo-Christian revelation. Therefore, Physics neglects or passes by Theology. That relationship between Physics and Theology is widely used as a background for exercising an intense pressure on Theology. The defence of Theology should begin by pointing out certain shortcomings of Physics and formulating a philosophical control of these shortcomings. This is tantamount to turning Physics instead of Theology into a “site under construction”. Only a “controlled” Physics and Theology are a…

A Case of Human Reason’s Liberation from its Positivist Self- Limitation. The Return of Philosophy Through the Solution of a Problem of Physics is a …

2020

The idea of human reason’s positivist self-limitation is used by Benedict XVI and others to characterize an aspect of the long-lasting intellectual situation of Western technological-scientific civilization. Liberating human reason from its positivist self-limitation requires, in general, an overcoming of the historical process of Natural Science’s drifting away from Philosophy. In the case of Physics, it requires a point where both physics and philosophy have to deal together with the same problem. This paper first identifies a problem caused by specific reductionisms in Physics. These reductionisms cause certain deformations of physical knowledge, which in turn makes it desirable for phys…

Tro och Naturvetenskap - den förlorade harmonin

2004

In Christian Theology, on the one hand, and Physics, on the other, exist different views about the age of the universe, the age of the earth, and about particularities of other historical events. Obviously, this is a serious obstacle for a harmonious relationship between both. Much more serious, however, is the difference between the respective epistemological climates. The epistemological climate of Theology is ”luminous” because it relies on common sense. On the contrary, the epistemological climate of Physics is ”dark”, insofar it deviates from common sense. The goal of the article is to emphasize the importance of addressing that difference. The text is in Swedish.

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

Eine kurze Beschreibung des Verhältnisses von Physik, Philosophie und Theologie lautet: Die Physik vernachlässigt oder umgeht den natürlichen Realismus, Ursprung allen Philosophierens. Der natürliche Realismus wird wiederum durch die jüdisch-christliche Offenbarung gestützt. Daher vernachlässigt oder umgeht die Physik die Theologie. Diese Beziehung zwischen Physik und Theologie wird häufig als Hintergrund für die Ausübung eines starken Drucks auf die Theologie verwendet. Die Verteidigung der Theologie sollte damit beginnen, auf bestimmte Mängel der Physik hinzuweisen und eine philosophische Kontrolle dieser Mängel zu formulieren. mit wird die Physik statt der Theologie zur "Baustelle". Nur …

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