Quantum Philosophy – There Is No Closed Whole

Description

İsmet Şahin presents a groundbreaking exploration of the intersection between quantum mechanics, philosophy, and social theory. This work challenges traditional metaphysical and scientific frameworks, arguing for the necessity to move beyond deterministic and closed-system models. Şahin’s insights are particularly timely in light of contemporary advancements in quantum theory, which call into question long-held beliefs in classical physics.

The book opens with a critical examination of the limitations of classical physics, particularly the Newtonian model. Şahin emphasizes how the rigid, deterministic nature of classical mechanics has misled various fields into viewing natural and social phenomena as closed systems governed by immutable laws. He asserts:

“The determination of all phenomena within a closed system is misleading; the dynamic structure of nature and social phenomena is based on uncertainty and probabilities” (p. 15)

“There is no closed totality; everything is open, variable, and in a continuous state of evolution” (p. 25)

“Knowledge does not possess a fixed structure; on the contrary, it is a process based on probabilities and is continuously evolving” (p. 42)

“The deterministic approach of Marxism ignores the dynamic structure of both physical and social realities” (p. 58)
