Тheme 9. The scientific picture of the world
The purpose
of the lecture: the definition of the basic characteristics of
the modern scientific picture of the world.
Слайд 3
Plan:
1. Scientific picture of the world.
2. Historical forms of the
scientific world.
3. The global evolution as a modern scientific picture
of the world.
Слайд 4Basic concepts:
Scientific picture of the world
The global evolutionism
The anthropic principle
in cosmology
Слайд 5
Scientific picture of the world
a system of ideas
about the properties and laws of reality, built in the
compilation and synthesis of scientific concepts and principles.
Слайд 6 Scientific picture of the world
The scientific picture of the
world is not a dogma and absolute truth. At the
same time, scientific understanding closer to the truth, because they are based on the totality of the facts proven and established causal relationships. As a result, scientific knowledge can draw correct conclusions and predictions about the properties of our world and contribute to the development of human civilization.
Слайд 7Scientific picture of the world
The scientific picture of the world
may be different from the religious views of the world,
based on the authority of the prophets, religious traditions, sacred texts, etc. Therefore, religious views are more conservative in contrast to the scientific, evolving as a result of discovery of new facts. In turn, the religious concept of the universe is subject to change, to move closer to the scientific views of his time.
Слайд 8Historical forms
of the scientific world
1) Classical
2) Non-classical
3) Postnonclassical
Слайд 9Classical picture of the world
Period: XVII - XIX centuries
The basic
idea: the transition from the geocentric to the heliocentric model
of the world.
The scientific revolution of Newton (Newton formulated the basic principles of the new scientific picture of the world)
Слайд 10Classical picture of the world
There is a sharp contrast between
the subject and object of research.
The subject - "does
not matter".
The main - the language of mathematics.
Methods of experimental studies.
The basic principle: mechanical determinism
The emergence of the mechanistic scientific world on the basis of experimental mathematical science.
Слайд 11Non-classical picture of the world
Einstein's revolution.
XIX-XX centuries.
Discovery
of the complex structure of the atom
The phenomenon of radioactivity
The
discrete nature of electromagnetic radiation, etc.
Слайд 12Non-classical picture of the world
The result has been undermined, the
most important prerequisite for a mechanistic view of the world
- the belief that simple forces acting between the same objects can explain all natural phenomena. Later, under the new picture of the world revolution took place in private sciences: cosmology (the concept of the universe is not stationary), biology (development of genetics), etc. Thus, during the XX century, science has changed dramatically its appearance in all its directions.
Слайд 13Postnonclassical picture
of the world
Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) coined the term and
attempted to define its scope in his two volume work Synergetics.
His oeuvre inspired many researchers to tackle branches of synergetics. Three examples: Haken explored self-organizing structures of open systems far from thermodynamic equilibrium, Amy Edmondson explored tetrahedral and icosahedral geometry, and Stafford Beer tackled geodesics in the context of social dynamics.
Слайд 14Postnonclassical picture
of the world
Many other researchers toil today on
aspects of Synergetics, though many deliberately distance themselves from Fuller's
broad all-encompassing definition, given its problematic attempt to differentiate and relate all aspects of reality including the ideal and the physically realized, the container and the contained, the one and the many, the observer and the observed, the human microcosm and the universal macrocosm.
