Part 4 A Model for the Rehabilitation of Witness Perspective The Path of Knowledge:The Knowledge of Path

Autor:  Marvin E. Kirsh

Part 4  An unwitnessible silence is suggested to exist as a companion to all change. Conceptual paradox involving mind and matter, contrasting mind as an enduring state of the becoming of energy into a state of matter, and matter as the constantly becoming environment, is tested against criteria of witnessibility with respect to criteria for the existence of entities and phenomenon for consistency to capture an acceptably reasoned description, from a modern perspective, of cultural evolution. A self generating, historically renewing, power possessing, sound generating friction at the conceptual border of the social and natural sciences as the recurring source of the problems of civilization is discussed. In conclusion, symbolism evolved from the philosophies of logical positivism and post modernism referenced from elaborated philosophy are determined to reflect a need for a universal representation of nature that is independent of temporal and physical parameters of perspective. Evolution is discussed within the framework of first witness perspective and a visually based mathematical-physical model of space is elaborated.
