The purpose of this book is to initiate a new discipline, namely a
formalized epistemological method drawn from the cognitive
strategies practised in the most effective among the modern
scientific disciplines, as well as from general philosophical
thinking. Indeed, what is lacking in order to improve our knowledge
and our domination of the modes which nowadays are available for
the generation and communication of knowledge, thoroughly and
rapidly and with precision and detail? It is a systematic
explication of the epistemological essence encrypted in the
specialized languages and algorithms of the major modern scientific
approaches, a systematic cross-referencing of the explicated
results, and a final elaboration of a new coherent whole.
Quantum mechanics, like a diver, can take us down to the level
of the very first actions of our conceptualization of reality. And
starting from there, it can induce an explicit understanding of
certain fundamental features of the new scientific thinking.
A formalized epistemology should not be mistaken for a
crossdisciplinary or a multidisciplinary project. The latter
projects are designed to offer to nonspecialists access to
information, to results obtained inside specialized disciplines, as
well as a certain understanding of these results; whereas a
formalized epistemology should equip anyone with a framework for
conceptualizing himself in whatever domain and direction he or she
might choose. A formalized epistemology should not be mistaken
either for an approach belonging to the modern cognitive sciences.
These try to establish as neutrally as possible descriptions of how
the human body-and-mind work spontaneously when knowledge
isgenerated; whereas a method of conceptualization should establish
what conceptual-operational deliberate procedures have to be
applied in order to represent and to achieve processes of
generation of knowledge optimized accordingly to any definite
aims.
This book addresses philosophers of science, physicists,
mathematicians, logicians, computer scientists, researchers in
cognitive sciences, and biologists, as well as any intellectual who
is interested in scientific and philosophical thinking.
