Philosophy in Reality offers a new vision of the relation between
science and philosophy in the framework of a non-propositional
logic of real processes, grounded in the physics of the real world.
This logical system is based on the work of the Franco-Romanian
thinker Stephane Lupasco (1900-1988), previously presented by
Joseph Brenner in the book Logic in Reality (Springer, 2008). The
present book was inspired in part by the ancient Chinese Book of
Changes (I Ching) and its scientific-philosophical discussion of
change. The emphasis in Philosophy in Reality is on the recovery of
dialectics and semantics from reductionist applications and their
incorporation into a new synthetic paradigm for knowledge. Through
an original re-interpretation of both classical and modern Western
thought, this book addresses philosophical issues in scientific
fields as well as long-standing conceptual problems such as the
origin, nature and role of meaning, the unity of knowledge and the
origin of morality. In a rigorous transdisciplinary manner, it
discusses foundational and current issues in the physical sciences
- mathematics, information, communication and systems theory and
their implications for philosophy. The same framework is applied to
problems of the origins of society, the transformation of reality
by human subjects, and the emergence of a global, sustainable
information society. In summary, Philosophy in Reality provides a
wealth of new perspectives and references, supporting research by
both philosophers and physical and social scientists concerned with
the many facets of reality.
