"Hard problem of consciousness" in the context of the correlation of scientific and theological discourse

Бесплатный доступ

Modern science describes the world “outside”, as a result, it appears as a combination of material bodies. Meanwhile, the psyche is not a body. Today, the academic world is approaching the realization of the fact that resolving of the “hard problem of consciousness” is impossible without engaging in a personal discourse that implies looking at the problem “from inside” which is traditionally associated with the “eastern” tradition. To gain such a look, we must try to rethink the mathematics with which we describe the physical world. Mathematics exists within us, in our psychic reality. It is generated by the subject from nothing - just as described in the biblical narrative of the creation of the world. The appeal to the existentially readable biblical Hexameron gives the opportunity to fill the mathematical structure with existentially experienced (“psychic”) semantic content and create a new conceptual language that allows us to describe both the objectivity of the “external” physical and the subjectivity of the “internal” mental worlds. Such a research project has an extremely important socio-political dimension. The creation of a multidimensional semantic space of a modern scientific picture of the world (assimilating the meanings of Abrahamic religions such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam) will enable religions to come into contact not through conflict, but through science, which today is the only language of description and a way of understanding the world, thereby contributing to a deeper the interaction of science and society.
