Add to basketCondition: Neu. The Quest for a Definition of Life. Naturforscher und Philosophen - auch Platon und Aristoteles, wie hier gezeigt wird, mussten sich immer schon über eine präzise und eindeutige Definition des allgegenwärtigen Phänomens 'Leben' verständigen. Wenn man auf die Existenz transzendenter, unbeweisbarer Wesenheiten verzichtet und nur eine einzige Form der Materie anerkennt - Atome, Moleküle usw. - wann kann diese gleiche Materie dann als 'lebendig' bezeichnet werden und wann nicht? Worin besteht genau der Unterschied dieser zwei Zustände, wenn alle Gesetze der Physik, der Chemie etc. auf genau die gleiche Art und Weise gelten? In dieser Studie bieten die Autoren einen originären und radikalen Ansatz, der in jeder Hinsicht allein auf naturwissenschaftlichem Denken beruht und zu einem Vorhersagemodell führt, das hier als LifeTime bezeichnet wird. Dieses Modell ermöglicht eine wesentlich bessere, wenn auch kompliziertere Beschreibung des Lebens. Die Eignung des Modells wird anhand zweier Spezies von Lebewesen getestet: Schwalben und Menschen. Es kann sogar - für Menschen - jene Form des Verhaltens vorhersagen, die man als 'religiösen Glauben' bezeichnet. 165 Seiten, broschiert (Philosophische Texte und Studien; Band 85/Olms Verlag 2006).

Paperback. Condition: New. A parallel investigation of both Plato's Timaeusand the contemporary standard Big Bang model of the universe shows that any possible scientific knowledge of the universe is ultimately grounded in irreducible and undemonstrable propositions. These are inventions of the human mind. The scientific knowledge of the universe is entirely composed in a series of axioms and rules of inference underlying a formalized system. There is no logical relationship between the sensible perception of a world of becoming and the formalized system of axioms known as a "scientific explanation."The "irrational gap" between perception and explanation can be appraised historically and identified in three stages: Plato's Timaeus furnishes the first example of a scientific theory dealing with a realm of ideality that cannot be derived from immediate sensible perception; the Big Bang model is constituted on the basis of the purely geometrical notion of symmetry; and in the more recent Algorithmic Theory of Information, the analysis of the purely symbolic language expressing physical reality reveals the level of complexity of any given theory formulated in this language. The result is that the probability of the universe actually conforming with simple mathematics is zero.In a formal system, a theorem contains more information than can be found in the set of axioms of this system, and it remains undecidable. In Aristotle' s language, the theorems that can be proved within a theoretical model are already potentially contained in the system of axioms underlying these theorems.
