Man between Physics and Metaphysics

Philosophy of Medicine and Man Volume 3

von Michael Imhof
Our current everyday worldview is based on rationality and scientific empiricism. Concepts such as „consciousness“ or „subjectivity“ are excluded from scientific thought. Natural sciences are characterized by a rigorous anti-metaphysical attitude.
Modern conceptions of matter, however, contain features that lack any counterpart in classical physics: Nobel laureate Roger Penrose and colleagues are convinced that the physical world arises in the wake of emergence from a Platonic world of ideas or mathematics. These considerations reach into the vicinity of metaphysics.
The universe can thus be understood as a universal self-organizing process that generates semantic information. In this context the question of meaning is raised.
Matter loses on its fundamental levels the characteristics of the material, spatiotemporally fixed; the mathematical, spiritual emerges. Reality derives from the spiritual, matter emerges from spirit. Religions and spiritual traditions speak of a divine.
