  • A Radical New Metaphysics: A Vision for Building a New Bridge Between Philosophy and Science (2002) [Updated 1 decade ago]
    by Tom Milner-Gulland   read the paper:

    It may be a hackneyed line of analysis to take everything apart and reduce it all to threes. This is the thrust of the Hegelian triad. I have made it my intention to bring renewed significance to the Hegelian triad and develop the strands that I create in my argument into a broad-ranging investigation into the mind, the cosmos, the development of life, physics and the meaning of life generally. What is presented here is only a portion of my fuller argument.

    The process of intellectual categorisation speaks of an inherent deference, in the mind, to the relationship that is antithetical opposition. What is at the basis of it? My suggestion is that the mind utilises the continuum between pleasure and extreme displeasure. Left is ?sinister? (this being its Latin name), and right, virtuous. The subjectivity involved in categorisation is intrinsic even to the most immediate observations that are relevant to science, one of its inevitable products being, I contend, the tri-dimensionality of space. And this is the area that I focus upon, as a vehicle for conveying the metaphysics that I hope to have created.
