Why Modern Science Is Broken: The Urgent Need for a New Natural Philosophy (Part 1)

Contemporary Natural Philosophy and Philosophies—Part 1

Gordana Dodig-Crnkovic, Marcin J. Schroeder

In this video, we dive into the groundbreaking ideas from the edited volume 'Contemporary Natural Philosophy and Philosophies—Part 1' by Gordana Dodig-Crnkovic and Marcin J. Schroeder. Discover why modern science has split from philosophy and how a 'New Synthesis' can bridge this gap. We explore Nicholas Maxwell's 'Aim-Oriented Empiricism'—a 7-layer framework that challenges the separation of science and metaphysics. Bruce MacLennan argues for a revived natural philosophy that includes consciousness and emotion, while Stanley Salthe and Robert Ulanowicz reveal how thermodynamics drives all organization, from cells to ecosystems. Joseph Brenner introduces 'Logic in Reality' to break dualities, and Lorenzo Magnani redefines logic with ecological cognition. Key findings show that reductionism is mathematically impossible (thanks to 'multifaceted objects'), observation has physical limits, and our universe faces a future of 'completed emptiness.' This video will change how you see science, knowledge, and reality itself. Watch to understand the crisis and the path forward.
