‘‘‘Psychohistory’’’ of Theory ‘Problematicity’ -- Part 10: ‘Seldonisms’ Series.
Dear Reader,
It
is my pleasure,
and my honor, as an officer of the Foundation Encyclopedia
Dialectica [F.E.D.]
Office of Public Liaison, and
as a voting member of F.E.D.,
to share, with
you, from
time to time, as
they
are approved
for public release by
the F.E.D.
General Council, key
excerpts
from the internal writings, and from the internal sayings, of our co-founder,
Karl Seldon.
The tenth release in
this new such
series is posted below [Some E.D. standard edits have been applied, in the version presented below, by the editors of
the F.E.D. Special Council for the Encyclopedia, to the
direct transcript of our co-founder’s discourse].
In this 10th installment, Seldon addresses the question ‘¿Why are scientific theories, and
theories in
general, so problematic?’.
Seldon --
“Part of the ‘‘‘root cause’’’ of the ‘problematicity’
of theories in general is this:
Theories in general reflect
the depth of penetration -- the ‘‘‘depth’’’ of appropriation -- of
‘exo-human Nature’, and of human Nature, by humanity; by human societal self-reproductive
praxis, at the time of promulgation of the theories of that time, and the
‘human-phenomic’ context of those theories’ arisings.”
“I.e., theories reflect the
attained level of development of ‘the human-societal self-reproductive
self-force’ as of the historical epoch in which they arise.”
“As long as there are further
layers, further scales of Nature, behind and ‘‘‘deeper than’’’, the
scale, and the ‘‘‘depth’’’, that the human appropriation of Nature has
attained, as of the epoch in which the theories in question have arisen, then
those theories “leave out”, and cannot be in resonance with, those, as yet
humanly-undiscovered, ‘‘‘deeper’’’ layers of reality.”
“With respect to those then
as yet humanly-unplumbed layers, the collective human mind, the
‘con-scientia’ of the human species of that time, the prevailing human «mentalité»,
has not yet become ‘‘‘appropriate’’’ to these deeper realities.”
“The theories, made by those
of that «mentalité», and comprehensible by others of that «mentalité»,
reflect that deficiency.”
“However, the immanent ‘praxical’
consequences of that deficiency may become broadly evident to the human
community only over and after a protracted history of “anomalous” experiment and other
experience.”
