Long description: Warum sind die Naturgesetze so, wie sie sind? Der Autor entwickelt eine Strategie, nach welcher eine Theorie gefunden werden kann, welche Relativitäts- und Quantentheorie, die Naturkonstanten, die vier Wechselwirkungen und alle Elementarteilchen einheitlich beschreibt. Die Naturgesetze sind so, wie sie sein müssen, damit Wahrnehmung möglich ist. Unendlichkeit, eine Zeit, in der nichts passiert und ein Raum ohne Objekte sind nicht per se empirisch wahrnehmbar, weshalb auf diese metaphysischen Begriffe verzichtet wird. Das Axiom A=A widerspricht sich selbst, weshalb es durch ein neues «Chiralitätsaxiom» ersetzt wird. Erst dieses Axiom ermöglicht es, Wahrnehmungen in unserem Bewusstsein zu ordnen. Der Begriff des Schwarzen Loches wird erweitert. Raum, Zeit, Substanz und Wechselwirkung sind nur noch verschiedene Aspekte der mathematisch neu definierten Wesenheit Ereignis. Ereignisse sind empirisch zählbar.

Die Naturgesetze sind so, wie sie sein müssen, damit Wahrnehmung möglich ist. Biographical note: Hans Wehrli, geboren 1940, studierte Naturwissenschaften an der Universität Zürich und Biochemie an der Kansas State University, wo er seine Promotion vollendete. In seiner Forschung befasst er sich mit der Frage nach den Naturgesetzen. Gleichzeitig ist er unabhängiger Unternehmer und Stadtrat von Zürich.

"Taking the long view of the history of philosophy, The Failures of Philosophy shows how philosophy has in fact collapsed several times, been completely abandoned, sometimes for centuries, and been replaced by something quite different from philosophy. The book focuses on what are historically the most significant failures of philosophy: attempts to provide an account of 'the good life' and how to live; to establish philosophy as a discipline that can stand in judgement over and assess other forms of thought; attempts to establish philosophy as a theory of everything; and attempts to construe it as a discipline that parallels or rationalizes the empirical and mathematical sciences, building up technical credentials that mimic those of science. The central atrgument of the book is that examination of these failures tells us much more about the nature of philosophical enquiry, and about the ultimate point of the exercise, than its successes possibly could. Examination of its failures shows us the significant differences in the way in which philosophers have conceived of the point at different times, and why they have been obliged to shift focus. It tells us why philosophy has been thought to bring distinctive skills to questions, and whether these are actually fruitful skills. And, above all, it allows us to open up the question whether philosophy has anything to offer over and above other ways of engaging cognate questions"--

Modern information communication technology eradicates barriers of geographic distances, making the world globally interdependent, but this spatial globalization has not eliminated cultural fragmentation. The Two Cultures of C.P. Snow (that of science–technology and that of humanities) are drifting apart even faster than before, and they themselves crumble into increasingly specialized domains. Disintegrated knowledge has become subservient to the competition in technological and economic race leading in the direction chosen not by the reason, intellect, and shared value-based judgement, but rather by the whims of autocratic leaders or fashion controlled by marketers for the purposes of political or economic dominance. If we want to restore the authority of our best available knowledge and democratic values in guiding humanity, first we have to reintegrate scattered domains of human knowledge and values and offer an evolving and diverse vision of common reality unified by sound methodology. This collection of articles responds to the call from the journal Philosophies to build a new, networked world of knowledge with domain specialists from different disciplines interacting and connecting with other knowledge-and-values-producing and knowledge-and-values-consuming communities in an inclusive, extended, contemporary natural–philosophic manner. In this process of synthesis, scientific and philosophical investigations enrich each other—with sciences informing philosophies about the best current knowledge of the world, both natural and human-made—while philosophies scrutinize the ontological, epistemological, and methodological foundations of sciences, providing scientists with questions and conceptual analyses. This is all directed at extending and deepening our existing comprehension of the world, including ourselves, both as humans and as societies, and humankind.
