Mit dieser Arbeit stellen wir ein System der ideologischen Metaphysik vor, das in erster Linie aus einer erkenntnistheoretischen Interpretation der Quantenmechanik (QM) hervorgeht. Unsere interpretative Haltung folgt einer langen Reihe von bewusstseinsbasierten (was wir Geist nennen) Interpretationen oder Erkl rungen f r das sogenannte Messproblem in der QM, eine Position, die von Physikern (und Mathematikern) wie von Neumann (1932), Wigner (1963, 1967), Bohm (1980, 1993), Stapp (2001, 2009, 2011), Manousakis (2006), Blaha (2009) und Pradhan (2012) und anderen vertreten wird. Angesichts dieser Perspektive verstehen wir das Messproblem als eine Funktion der Grenzbedingung zwischen Geist und Materie selbst, eine Bedingung, die wir beleuchten wollen, indem wir das Messproblem selbst aus der Physik selbst heraus und (direkter) in den Bereich der Philosophie abstrahieren und dabei explizit moderne Konzepte der Erkenntnistheorie und der Informationstheorie sowie der Quantenmesstheorie verwenden, um ein System der Metaphysik zu konstruieren, das auf Wissen und Informationsverarbeitung und -theorie basiert und das Licht auf die Beziehung zwischen Geist und Materie im Allgemeinen wirft.

Avec ce travail, nous introduisons un syst me de m taphysique id ologique qui est principalement n d'une interpr tation pist mologique de la m canique quantique (MQ). Notre position interpr tative s'inscrit dans une longue lign e d'interpr tations ou d'explications bas es sur la conscience (ce que nous appelons l'esprit) du soi-disant probl me de la mesure en MQ, une position d fendue par des physiciens (et des math maticiens) tels que von Neumann (1932), Wigner (1963, 1967), Bohm (1980, 1993), Stapp (2001, 2009, 2011), Manousakis (2006), Blaha (2009) et Pradhan (2012), entre autres. Dans cette perspective, nous concevons le probl me de la mesure comme une fonction de la condition limite entre l'esprit et la mati re elle-m me, une condition que nous souhaitons clairer en abstrayant le probl me de la mesure lui-m me hors de la physique proprement dite et (plus directement) dans le domaine de la philosophie en utilisant explicitement les conceptions modernes de l' pist mologie et de la th orie de l'information, ainsi que la th orie de la mesure quantique, pour construire un syst me de m taphysique, bas sur la connaissance et le traitement et la th orie de l'information, qui claire la relation entre l'esprit et la mati re en g n ral.

Con questo lavoro introduciamo un sistema di metafisica ideologica che nasce principalmente da un'interpretazione epistemologica della Meccanica Quantistica (MQ). La nostra posizione interpretativa segue una lunga serie di interpretazioni, o spiegazioni, basate sulla coscienza (che chiamiamo mente) del cosiddetto problema della misurazione in MQ, una posizione sostenuta da fisici (e matematici) come von Neumann (1932), Wigner (1963, 1967), Bohm (1980, 1993), Stapp (2001, 2009, 2011), Manousakis (2006), Blaha (2009) e Pradhan (2012), tra gli altri. In questa prospettiva, concepiamo il problema della misurazione come una funzione della condizione di confine tra la mente e la materia stessa, condizione sulla quale desideriamo fare luce astraendo il problema della misurazione stessa dalla fisica propriamente detta e (pi direttamente) nel dominio della filosofia, utilizzando esplicitamente le moderne concezioni dell'epistemologia e della teoria dell'informazione, cos come la teoria della misurazione quantistica, per costruire un sistema di metafisica, basato sulla conoscenza e sull'elaborazione e teoria dell'informazione, che faccia luce sulla relazione tra mente e materia in generale.

Niniejsza praca poświęcona jest gl wnym tematom, koncepcjom i czolowym postaciom hellenistycznej tradycji filozoficznej, kt ra nie tylko wywarla wplyw na starożytny świat grecki, a następnie laciński, ale także miala trwaly wplyw na rozw j intelektualny i teologiczny Zachodu aż do epoki oświecenia. W tym celu skupiono się na tradycji sokratejskiej, poprzez Platona, a następnie Arystotelesa, a następnie tradycji stoickiej, kt rej silny ślad można znaleźc we wczesnym chrześcijaństwie, stanowiącym zalążek zachodniej ewolucji teologicznej poprzez judaizm, chrześcijaństwo, a następnie islam.

Cet ouvrage examine les principaux th mes, concepts et figures de proue de la tradition philosophique hell nique qui ont non seulement influenc le monde grec puis latin dans l'Antiquit , mais ont galement eu une influence durable sur le d veloppement intellectuel et th ologique en Occident jusqu'au si cle des Lumi res. cette fin, l'accent est mis sur la tradition socratique, travers Platon puis Aristote, puis sur la tradition sto cienne dont l'empreinte profonde se retrouve dans le christianisme primitif, repr sentant le noyau de l' volution th ologique occidentale via le juda sme, le christianisme puis l'islam.

Questo lavoro esamina i temi principali, i concetti e le figure di spicco della tradizione filosofica ellenica che non solo ha influenzato il mondo greco e poi latino nell'antichit , ma ha anche avuto un'influenza duratura sullo sviluppo intellettuale e teologico in Occidente fino all'Illuminismo. A tal fine, l'attenzione si concentra sulla tradizione socratica, attraverso Platone e poi Aristotele, e poi sulla tradizione stoica, la cui forte impronta si ritrova nel cristianesimo primitivo, che rappresenta il nucleo centrale dell'evoluzione teologica occidentale attraverso l'ebraismo, il cristianesimo e poi l'islam.

Dieses Werk befasst sich mit den Hauptthemen, Konzepten und f hrenden Pers nlichkeiten der hellenistischen philosophischen Tradition, die nicht nur die griechische und sp ter die lateinische Welt der Antike beeinflusste, sondern auch einen nachhaltigen Einfluss auf die intellektuelle und theologische Entwicklung im Westen bis hin zur Aufkl rung hatte. Zu diesem Zweck liegt der Schwerpunkt auf der sokratischen Tradition, ber Platon und dann Aristoteles, und anschlie end auf der stoischen Tradition, deren starker Einfluss im fr hen Christentum zu finden ist und die den Kern der westlichen theologischen Entwicklung ber das Judentum, das Christentum und dann den Islam darstellt.

Homo mysticus is a book about the science of mysticism, seen through the lens of ancient cosmogony and sacred geometry. This book connects the spiritual and the otherworldly to the practical and tangible in a refreshingly down to earth way. This book is a must read for anyone interested in the subjects of both mysticism and science.About the AuthorJuan Valdez was born and raised in New York City and was an avid tennis and squash player as a junior and at the collegiate level.

He completed his undergraduate studies at Brown University (Ancient History and Economics) and then an MS in Computer Science from NYU. He has been studying meditation and Eastern philosophy for the better part of 30 years and writes when he is not building and securing large scale enterprise grade benefits and billing systems.

Metaphysics Reconsidered: A Gnostic Reading of KantBy: Juan ValdezThis work sits at the tail end of a progression of studies into theology, mysticism, and philosophy which reaches its apex here philosophically. It builds off of the understanding of the (shared) foundations of theological, mystical, and philosophical knowledge from antiquity that we explore in Theology Reconsidered and Homo Mysticus that have supported the development of advanced societies throughout human history, and conjoins this knowledge with more modern conceptions of the world as reflected in scientific disciplines such as physics, psychology, and biology to establish a new system of metaphysics, a postmodern system of metaphysics, which accounts for philosophical skepticism as well as physical materialism and has both a psychological as well as physical element to it-the world as it appears and the world as itis in Kantian terms.In creating this model, we first illustrate the deficiencies of the prevailing metaphysical paradigm, one that reflects a deep-seated belief in the ontological supremacy of "objective reality," and find the source of these deficiencies, point them out, and then make some adjustments to the underlying system (Kantian metaphysics primarily) such that its misguided conclusions are both brought to light and at the same time corrected. In so doing, we in effect root our system of metaphysics, the Metaphysics of Awareness, directly into the Western philosophical tradition.About the AuthorThe author is a practicing Information Technology Executive with over 25 years of experience in the SaaS and FinTech sector.
