• W142142261 abstract "Since the beginning of civilization 5,000 years ago, the greatest minds have sought to grasp and name the primal principle, the Ur-Prinzip of exist[dagger]ence. In modern science Albert Einstein and his many successors have been tirelessly searching for the elusive Theory of All in mathematical form. Many alternative, profound strategies have been developed through millennia, each recognizing in one way or another that our very thinking itself is central in authentically encountering this primal principle. The diverse explanations of what is made it impossible for the worldviews to agree on an authentically a universal explanation of all reality. Nevertheless, people have been convinced that there must be one originating (Ur) underlying all realities, all worldviews, all evolution--whether articulated philosophically, theologically, or mathematically. This intuition of a primal and global first has persisted across almost all worldviews, especially those of the physical sciences, insisting that there must be an Ur-Prinzip as the source of all unity and diversity, a unifying force that both generates and holds together all diverse realities. There are, of course, those (for example, deconstructionists, postmoderns--atomists) who claim that there is only multiplicity, that any unity we perceive is precisely that, merely our perception of unity. As Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) put it, we can never get beyond our perception of the phenomena to the Ding an sich, the thing in itself. In a very real sense, however, this insight is not really new, for the Greek philosophers--Aristotle et al.--and consequent medieval Christian theologians-Thomas Aquinas et al.--also did not claim that they could grasp or understand the Ultimate, the Unmoved Mover, God. They were, however, persuaded that all the evidence, the phenomena, pointed to its reality. That is, Aquinas in his famous Quinque viae, five ways to prove the existence of God, listed the multiple phenomena that pointed to an Ur-Prinzip/primal principle/the Ding an sich--which is the source of all the phenomena. The intellectually consistent ancient philosophers and theologians did not think that they could understand or describe the Ur-Prinzip but thought that it must be (for example, Aquinas's name for the Unmoved Mover, God, was Ipsum Esse Subsistens, self-subsisting being itself) on the two principles that something cannot come from nothing, and its variant, the principle of sufficient reason. The position of the naysayers to the consistency of reality would seem merely to be yet another attempt at finding and naming the source of ultimate unity by claiming that it is each of us individually. A major problem with this multiple solipsistic position is that it does not square with our everyday experience; nobody really thinks that all of you are just projections of my mind, or that I am a projection of yours. Despite all our profound cultural and other differences, there is at least sufficient commonality for all of us to claim that we are different, for to be different there must be some commonality from which we differ. Hence, the query: Whence the commonality and difference? To which the response is: There is an Ur-Prinzip, a primal principle. However, precisely because of the widely variant languages of experience, an authentically global name for the Ur-Prinzip is only now emerging as a result of the development of the dialogic/critical mentality. Only now is the dialogic form of consciousness and way of thinking beginning to mature globally, making it possible to conceive, experience, name, and articulate in an appropriately limited human manner the reality of this unlimited, infinite origin. This new, deeper form of thinking moves beyond the older, narrower habits of thought that localized and hence both obstructed and deformed the access to the primal principle. Our thought-patterns, language, and world-making had first to break from the inward-gazing habits and evolve into a more open space for language, thought, and experience so as to become truly dialogical/critical and global. …" @default.
