SUMMARY:
jvelopment of concepts within a specific domain.
By naming concepts and
“fining their relations the reality becomes reflected in human consciousness,
d thus a reconciliation of opposites of "objective" and "subjective" in our
arception is achieved.
This may be on an elanentary level
(consciousness as
posed to unconsciousness in the medical sense)
or on a highly elaborate level
theological or political consciousness.
My methodological approach is
nist because it tries to avoid juxta-position of unrelated conceptual frane-
rks to account for discontinuities in explanation.
is approach can be traced back to Avicenna, Nicholas of Cusa, Leibniz, Cantor
d Riemann.
From a purely qualitative point of view, each of them has
veloped a methodology to deal with ultimate concerns of human existence and
iason.
Avicenna's method exerted a profound influence on the scientific
ought and medical practice in the Middle Ages;
Leibniz, Cantor and Riemann
ve anticipated the crisis of atomistic philosophy and developed concepts
at have not yet been fully appreciated by Jhe present scientific ccumunity.
Four years ago I formulated a concept that anticipated sons development of the

t?ualitative features of the new model
