Document:
Human beings and Humankind are exceptional phenomena in the World. They represent one of the highest levels of biological complexity, mental and social capability in the known living nature. It is natural, that all the generations of people has been devoting considerable effort to cognition and creation of opinions on the origin, evolution of the human species, human life, human society, human interaction with the outside world, and on many other issues. During its development, people have accumulated, combined and used a huge amount of knowledge and ideas about the world and themselves, which allowed them to live and grow.
Immodest goal of the author of this essay is to contribute to a philosophical reflection of this cognition and effort using the method of the Unitary Theory of the World. It is out of capabilities of the author to make even concise survey on main philosophical approaches to Human beings, Human society and Humankind in the World. Nevertheless, he offers his own approach and description on the subject.
- Communications/relations/interactions (expressed via Ù, Ú, and ├ logical symbols).
§ 2. At the beginning of our Universe/World: Contingently, the Potential to exist of the Physical World started to communicate with the Laws of Nature and thus changed/ transformed itself into the Forces (EF), which gave origin to the Real Physical World (ERPW), with its observable quantities: Time (ET), Space (ES), Energy (EE) / Mass (EM), Direction (ED), Information (EI), Intellect (ER), Potential to exist (EP), and Contingency (EC).
The symbols “Ù”, “Ú”, and “├“, are for a logical “and”, “or”, and “it can be derived from“, respectively. They express communication, interactions or relations among the individual quantities and laws.
Note 1: An inherently indicated sequence of individual quantities in relations (1), (2) and others, has not to be understood as a time consequence, since there was no Time at the beginning of the World.
Note 2: EM (“mass”) can be understood as a specific kind of “structured and condensed” energy.
§ 3. These individual basic quantities are being „present“ or are „acting“ in individual elements, parts, processes, ....of the Objective Reality as multiples of their elementary quanta.
Contingency: arbitrary act in development of the World.
§ 4. The individual basic quantities, elements, parts, processes, .... Ei of the Objective Reality (OR) exist in mutual interactions.
These interactions cause changes, transformations and/or motions (including appearance or disappearance) of the individual basic quantities ES, ET, EE, EM, ED, EI, ER, EP, EC, and elements, parts, processes, .... Ei of the Objective Reality as a whole, respectively.
where E1, E2, E3, ... Ei are symbols for individual/specific elements, parts, processes, etc. of the Objective Reality (OR).
In other words, the elements, parts, processes, phenomena, etc. of the Objective Reality can be expressed, or composed, or derived, or characterized by means of the above mentioned basic quantities, as “a result” of all mutual interactions of existing elements and processes.
§ 5. Transformations or motions of the elements, parts, processes, ... Ei of the Objective Reality are govern by „grammar“ or „syntax“ rules which are usually known or understand as the Laws of Nature (ELN).
These rules are inherent in elements, parts, facts, features, attributes, .... Ei of the Objective Reality, too.
They are „applied“ or “realized” via EI, ER, ED, EC, EP quantities, i.e. they can be expressed by means of the elementary quanta of information EI, intellect ER, direction ED, contingency EC, and potential to exist EP.
§ 6. The interactions among the elements, parts, processes, .... of the Objective Reality do not change always/necessarily each of the characteristic dimensions, or values, or quantities, etc. of elements, parts, processes, .... Ei of the Objective Reality considerably or at all.
§ 7. Actualization/Realization/Existence of the individual eventualities in the Objective Reality, including Its state or form as a whole, is in principle contingent, even though some of their consequences may be relatively stable and repeatable.
That is why these interactions can repeatedly result in relatively stable forms of individual subjects (elements, parts, processes, ... Ei) of the Objective Reality.
Note 3: More precise implication of the Unitary Theory of the World would need incorporation of the multi-value logics and/or also of further types of classical and/or non-classical logics into the description of the logical inter-relations shown above.
The Unitary Theory of the World states/underlines the significance of laws of nature, as well as physical entities, and Contingency for the origin and development of the World. According to this theory, real specific processes, objects, entities, substances, phenomena, knowledge, etc. can be defined, described, “constructed”, actualized, realized using the above mentioned basic elementary quantities and their interactions. The quantities, entities, and interactions could be denoted as our “World Existence Dimensions”.
- Theory enables to describe (or to express or to „absorb“, etc.) all of the known quantities, characteristics, phenomena, elements, parts, processes, laws, behavior etc. of the Objective Reality on the basis of positivistic knowledge and experience, and verified theories, because many of the discussed categories and phenomena have been yet studied, known, and applied in human practice relatively thoroughly.
- Moreover, the concept enables generally also to structure systematically - on the “sub-microscopic, “„microscopic“ and/or „macroscopic“ level - all of the quantities, elements, parts, processes, ... Ei of the Objective Reality, including the interactions, relations, laws, among them, even though they have not been known completely, correctly, preciously, or at all so far. Thus, the concept can be helpful also in searching for such possibly existing but so far omitted and unknown features of the objective reality.
In further part of this contribution we will implicate the Theory on the holistic description of The Human and Humankind in the World.
In our approach to the concept of Human persons and Humankind we used the simple standard biological organization scheme, published by Ruth Bernstein and Stephen Bernstein.
Each of Humans consists of his body, organ systems, sole, experience, knowledge, and other – discussed below – human attributes. Each of organs can be decomposed to different tissues, which consist of groups of organelles and of cells functioning together. Cells and organelles are formed by multiple (bio) macromolecules and molecules, which are built of atoms. Atoms are supposed as the simplest units of life, though they can be further decomposed to sub-atomic particles from the perspective of Physics. At every level of the hierarchy, new functions – which are necessary for the control of life - appear. These new roles are not the functions that the lower level components are capable of on one´s own and are they thus referred to as emergent properties, which arise through interactions among smaller or simpler entities (that they themselves do not exhibit such properties).
ELNH Ù (ESHÚETHÚEEHÚEMHÚEDHÚEIHÙERH) Ù EPHÙ ECH Ú EH1 Ú EH2 Ú ... E Hi-1 Ú E H i+1 Ú EHB Ú EHS Ú EHE Ú EHK Ú EHF Ú EHBe Ú EHA ├ EHi.
EHS Ú EHE Ú EHK Ú EHF Ú EHBe Ú EHA ├ EHi.
Specific method of description of the holistic systems - developed in the frame of the Unitary Theory of the World - enables insight into such a complex entities like Human persons, Humankind, ecosystems, biosphere, etc. are.
It enable to structure systematically - on the “sub-microscopic, “„microscopic“ and/or „macroscopic“ level - all of the quantities, elements, parts, processes, ... Ei of the Human World, including the interactions, relations, laws, among them, even though they have not been known/revealed completely, correctly, preciously, or at all so far. Thus, the concept can be helpful also in searching for such potentially existing but so far omitted and unknown features of the Human World, Humankind, Humans etc., in the frame of homogeneous philosophical and scientific approaches.
It shows illustratively, that the existence, features, development, etc. of Humans and Humankind related phenomena are parts of the INFINITE-DIMENSIONAL AND CONTINUOUSLY DEVELOPING/EXPANDING WORLD - in its dimensions, interactions, interconnections, emerging entities and facts, etc.
The concept does not solve the problem WHY Humans and Humankind emerged and WHY they got just such forms, properties, attributes, behavior etc. which they exhibit. It is focused on the two principal questions: HOW the Humans and Humankind may originate/emerge/develop/transform/etc., and HOW they may be developed so far and – probably - how they may develop in future.
However, the concept can just help/promote our understanding of the Human World entities and to their interactions, transformations, etc. but it does not enable per se to reveal them in specific details and specific moment and to predict details in their development. Nevertheless, the concept respects completeness and correctness of the general STRUCTURE of the description of specific elements and interactions among them and among the proximate environment/world.
It respects inherently the fact that the individual proximate environments or “cosmoses” are continuously born and passed – in the frame of “our” current universe, e.g. at the emergence/genesis of a new human beings, new human communities, new “sociological” phenomena, or of some important artifact, and other entities.
The concept suggested provides a sufficient “intellectual space´” to solve practical tasks connected with development of Humans, Humankind and related issues.
