The old and the new #mechanism - part 2
- Explanation attempts for the understanding of the #reductionistic and #positivistic world view -

In this 2nd part of the article, in my opinion, the #complexity of #biological #systems is taken into account and in this respect the #mereological #fallacy in the old #mechanistic #world #view, that the whole is always more than the sum of its parts, is referred to as a #construction #error in #reductionism.

The criticism of both positions I had already explained frequently in my trilogy on the philosophy of science (https://philosophies.de/index.php/category/wissenschaftstheorie/). The results of analysis expressed in this article are also very revealing with respect to the possibility of the constitution of a strong artificial intelligence. But now I would rather like to let Mr. Demarchi have his say on this topic once again.
