an Abstract for the book "Instancology“
”Instancology“ is an author-coined
word for the name of this new philosophy system on "The Study of the
Instance and The Absolute.
The purpose of writing this book is to
reveal: the final truth on the reality of our world- instead of 2500 years of
searching for the fundamental existence or the Being of our world, it is the
"Movement" itself, caused by the Absolute - which leads to forming
our present, abstract (e.g. existence of Plato's Form or mathematics) AND material
worlds.
Along this revelation, this
dissertation tries to answer questions like "What is Heidegger's Part II
(which he could not complete) of his book "The Being and Time", Is
mathematics real? Is Plato's Form real? On the argument "What is the reality?",
who is correct? Plato or Aristotle? After all, the 4 fundamental questions
raised when philosophy in its infantile since ancient Greeks asked: Who am I?
Where am I? What is my world? and How should I conduct myself?
The method used in developing this
system is a new epistemology called "Pure Wu-Xing "(similar to the
instance, e.g. when Archimedes shouted "Eureka!
") which explains the mechanism for
creativity and discovery, and which cannot be explained by analysis, reason,
rational, logic etc. alone, in the past history of epistemological development
in philosophy.
By using this new "Pure Wu-Xing",
thinking studies thoughts and thoughts reflected on thinking - so on and so forth,
each pushes other in turn to higher and higher circle upwards, eventually come
to the Absolute, which is the final end of all rational: the truth of reality.
It reveals that the nature of thinking is the Absolute also. And relating
thinking to the Absolute in the outside world, the two Absolutes are identical.
Along this line of logic, this system also throws new lights on the nature of
language, Artificial Intelligence ethics and Chinese culture in general and
reached its own new conclusions for each field.
