Quanta, Alterity, and Love: Quantum Physics and Philosophy
Quanta, Alterity, and Love: When the Findings of Quantum Physics, Philosophy, and Radical Alterity Collide
Multitiered approach created for beginners and advanced seekers alike
Volume 1: The Quantum Rupture
Since the Twentieth-Century, quantum physics has ushered in radical findings that challenge our most basic assumptions of reality. This work establishes that these scientific upheavals can no longer be ignored-to do so is to risk catastrophic demise. This is not an attempt to synchronize physics with ethics through reductive simplifications; it is a foundational interrogation of the rupture of reality itself.
Where classical science and philosophy once took hold-planted as countless roots, splaying and burrowed in the dark, burgeoning earth of history to sprout into the sunlight of commonsense-those histories have been overtaken. In the Twentieth-Century, they were overgrown by the rhizome of an untamed abyss, shaping a future where radically different ethics are required. These bizarre and radical discoveries now threaten our future. At the heart of the matter is an increasingly untenable social chaos; survival of the fittest must be re-thought as the survival of the species, requiring a radically different ethics.
In Volume 1, startling and radically novel findings of quantum physics are juxtaposed with human understanding acquired over centuries. This opening study establishes the physical reality of our abyssal footing, exploring how bizarre shakeups in science can no longer be ignored at the risk of our catastrophic demise. This is an unearthing of what is meant by reality-the history in which science and philosophy bloomed as commonsense notions, and how the uprooted future can sprout towards the other who faces us
Included in this volume:
Major Topics: Relativity, Wave-Particle Duality, Quantum Wave Function, Chaos and Classicism, Quantum Entanglement, Quantum Gravity. All of these stunning breakthroughs are interspersed and put into historic and philosophical perspectives.
Physics and Radical Exteriority: An investigation into physics as a way to uproot preconceived notions about what we mean by real.
The Wave-Particle Paradox: Navigating the both/and/neither nature of quanta and the riddle of the Quantum Wave Function resulting in the massive disruption of commonsense about cause and effect.
Quantum Entanglement and Gravity: Why the interconnectedness of the subatomic world disrupts the most practical assumptions of commonsense about space, time and isolated selfhood.
