{"product_id":"one-whole-giuseppe-tulli-9798643802037","title":"One Whole: A Philosophical Analysis of the Principle of Complementarity in the World and Man","description":"It is a most deep-seated intuition that the world simply \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e, or that it's the realm of the sheer \u003ci\u003ebeing of things\u003c\/i\u003e. Thus, with Hamlet, it also intuitively makes sense to wonder, even regarding man as a being in the world, whether \"to be, or not to be\". But modern Quantum Mechanics, against all intuition, has found that in the sub-atomic world there are \u003ci\u003eno things\u003c\/i\u003e as \"particles\" or \"waves\", but their \"superposition\" as fundamental \"states\"; that is, as though they were \"statements\" \u003ci\u003eabout\u003c\/i\u003e \"particles\" and \"waves\". Is this a \u003ci\u003ederailment\u003c\/i\u003e from good \u003ci\u003ecommon sense\u003c\/i\u003e? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMore generally, \u003ci\u003ethings\u003c\/i\u003e are intuitively seen as \u003ci\u003efinite\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003ediscrete\u003c\/i\u003e, hence presupposing the \u003ci\u003ein\u003c\/i\u003e-finite or \u003ci\u003econtinuous\u003c\/i\u003e. But nothing is \u003ci\u003eabsolutely discrete\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003eabsolutely continuous\u003c\/i\u003e. Or nothing is \u003ci\u003eabsolutely in\u003c\/i\u003e-divisible, or else \u003ci\u003eabsolutely divisible\u003c\/i\u003e. For example, cells are made up of molecules, and molecules of atoms, and atoms of sub-atomic \"wave\/particles\". Every \u003ci\u003ething\u003c\/i\u003e can thus be seen as a harmonious \u003ci\u003eunity\u003c\/i\u003e of its fundamental \u003ci\u003eprinciples\u003c\/i\u003e, from which it's \u003ci\u003eintegrated\u003c\/i\u003e, and into which it \u003ci\u003edis-\u003c\/i\u003eintegrates. There's the \"state\" of \u003ci\u003eunity\u003c\/i\u003e, or being \u003ci\u003eone\u003c\/i\u003e discrete thing; and the \"state\" of \u003ci\u003ewholeness\u003c\/i\u003e, or being a \u003ci\u003ewhole\u003c\/i\u003e continuum of divisible principles. In sum, \u003ci\u003eone\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ewhole\u003c\/i\u003e are the ultimate \"states\" of the \u003ci\u003eworld\u003c\/i\u003e, and their \"superposition\", what the world \u003ci\u003ereally is\u003c\/i\u003e. And these are therein \"statements\" \u003ci\u003eabout\u003c\/i\u003e things, as though the world were, not only \"being\", but the \"mirror of being\". In classical terms, the world is really a \"cosmic mind\", and thereby even capable of \"thinking itself\" as a \"universal mind\". Actually, if the world were just \"being\", \u003ci\u003ehow\u003c\/i\u003e, or \u003ci\u003ewhy\u003c\/i\u003e, there's ultimately a \"universal mind\" in it, e.g. like the mind of \u003ci\u003eman\u003c\/i\u003e? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn the other hand, if the world can \"think itself\" then it can \u003ci\u003ecompletely\u003c\/i\u003e \"mirror\", or \"know\", itself. Or the question of \u003ci\u003ehow\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003ewhy\u003c\/i\u003e the world \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e, is \u003ci\u003ecompletely answerable\u003c\/i\u003e by the world itself as a \"universal mind\". Needless to say, and by quoting Nietzsche, the \"death of God\", and then even the ultimate meaning of \u003ci\u003eman\u003c\/i\u003e as a \"universal mind\", are at stake with the question of complementarity. \u003ci\u003eIs it then really the ultimate principle of the world?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giuseppe Tulli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8643802034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798643802037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Giuseppe Tulli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46136104321279,"sku":"9798643802037","price":15.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_62c4ebf5-9e94-4fbf-8924-68ec5065f2c4.jpg?v=1726415695","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-whole-giuseppe-tulli-9798643802037","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
