In Untying the Gordian Knot: Process, Reality, and Context, Timothy
E. Eastman proposes a new creative synthesis, the Logoi
framework-which is radically inclusive and incorporates both
actuality and potentiality-to show how the fundamental notions of
process, logic, and relations, woven with triads of
input-output-context and quantum logical distinctions, can resolve
a baker's dozen of age-old philosophic problems. Further, Eastman
leverages a century of advances in quantum physics and the
Relational Realism interpretation pioneered by Michael Epperson and
Elias Zafiris and augmented by the independent research of Ruth
Kastner and Hans Primas to resolve long-standing issues in
understanding quantum physics. Adding to this, Eastman makes use of
advances in information and complex systems, semiotics, and process
philosophy to show how multiple levels of context, combined with
relations-including potential relations-both local and
local-global, can provide a grounding for causation, emergence, and
physical law. Finally, the Logoi framework goes beyond standard
ways of knowing-that of context independence (science) and context
focus (arts, humanities)-to demonstrate the inevitable role of
ultimate context (meaning, spiritual dimension) as part of a
transformative ecological vision, which is urgently needed in these
times of human and environmental crises.
