We all seek unity and wish good for all but how to ensure that becomes reality and stays so.
Since the Renaissance, science and technology have been developed in great progress, but till now human beings' knowledge about cosmic, i.e. objective world, is very and very little. In cosmic, there are a huge number of problems unknown by us and need to solve by us yet. As for how to identify them, both endowments in intelligence, opportunities in work and hardly researches in daily operation are necessary. I believe that there will produce a lot of great scientists like Newton or Einstein in the future.
My tastes run to mereology, which, given various possible axiomatizations, provides a number of defensible ways of carving up the world. Different axiomatizations may nonetheless each be universal in their application, but some axiomatizations may be preferred on pragmatic grounds. I also would want ontological commitments to be lucidly represented by the logic. The only axioms I would accept as universal across all axiomatizations, would be self-identity and indiscernability of identicals.
I appreciate your contributions here. It sheds light for many who read this. More insights would definitely help more. Thanks.
Dear Karl Pfeifer ,
may i say that what you imply is basically a plurality of axiomatizations on contextual basis whereby the logic of it makes it increasingly acceptable. Correct me if i am wrong? May you clarify to me the universal axioms of self-identity and indiscernability of identicals? Thank you but many who read this may wonder what it means.
- Self-identity: For all x, x=x
- Indiscernibility of Identicals: For all x and all y, if x=y and F is a property of x, then F is a property of y. (identicals have no properties by which they might be separately discerned, i.e. every property of one is a property of the “other”.)
