A New World View
Today, more and more people understand that the mechanistic-materialist worldview based on classical physics is incomplete. In addition to physical and biological factors, also the psychological, social and ethical features of a person are part of the dynamic fabric of reality. The sharp juxtaposition of the natural science and humanities approaches, fueled by erroneous basic assumptions, is progressively easing.
For centuries, philosophy has debated whether a human being is essentially a machine or a spiritual being. Interpreting reality one-dimensionally as either material or spiritual has obscured the understanding of the nature and meaning of human inner reality – how our knowledge, values, and goals also influence the shaping of the external world.
The particle-mechanistic worldview formulated at the turn of a new era is changing and, with it, the position and possibilities of a human being in the world have been illuminated in a new light. The world is not a predictable clockwork, but a whole that contains countless paths and opportunities for development. Which of them will be realized also depends on the person's own actions.
