0256 Does this picture of respiration as emergent phenomena<\/em> describe a new style (or fashion) for the Aristotelian tradition?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer is “yes”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is this new style consonant with Tabaczek’s emphasis on disposition, property and power,<\/em> as discussed in sections 2.2 through 2.4?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the answer is “yes”, then I should take a moment to reflect on where Tabaczek is coming from<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0257 Tabaczek starts his journey as a Thomist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recall that Aristotle lives in the 5400s U0′.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 7000s, Thomas Aquinas provides a “new” style in Aristotle’s tradition.  Call it the “the schoolmen style”.  Aquinas raises a lot of questions.  His questions are debated for four centuries.  His “new” style becomes the “old” style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 7400s, mechanical philosophers in northern Europe<\/em> dismiss the “old” scholastic nonsense.   Final and formal causes are incompatible with building mathematical and mechanical models based on observations and measurements of phenomena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The success of the mechanical philosophers gives rise, over the next four centuries, to the Positivist’s judgment.  In the Positivist’s judgment, a positivist intellect (relation<\/em>, thirdness) brings the empirio-schematic judgment (what ought to be,<\/em>secondness) into relation with phenomena (what is,<\/em> firstness).  Well, correct that.  Phenomena are the observable and measurable facets of their noumenon. Oh, never mind.  What scientist cares about the thing itself?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

0258 On paper, mechanical philosophers accept Aristotle’s material and efficient causalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In practice, they do not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0259 As I argue earlier, mechanical philosophers<\/em> promote truncated material and efficient causes,<\/em> severed from their complementary formal and final causes.  Why?  Truncated causes permit mechanical and mathematical models.  Furthermore, the severed causes<\/em> may be imported into the truncated causes as shadowy elements<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 7800 U0′, the severance and re-importation of formal and final causes<\/em> makes people wonder about the modern use of the word, “cause”.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

0260 According to Tabaczek, we are not the first to suspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Already, in the 7500s, two philosophers smell the head of a rotting fish<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David Hume (7511-7516 U0′) agrees that humans are not justified in claiming access to formal and final causations.  Without such access, “causality” reduces to… um… let me guess… mathematical and mechanical models<\/em>.  Sure, it smells, but it is still good to eat.  Tabaczek discusses the contemporary wreckage of a revived Humean discourse<\/em> in section 2.2.1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immanuel Kant (7524-7604 U0′) poses the question, “If mathematical and mechanical models account for observations and measurements of phenomena, then what about the thing itself<\/em> (that is, the noumenon<\/em>)?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, Kant embeds this question within a myriad of intricate arguments filling dense tomes,<\/em> so it takes a while for the answer<\/em> to manifest as a slogan<\/em>.  Indeed, rumor has it that the simplified slogan gets scrawled on a bathroom stall at the University in Turbingen.  The slogan, translated into English, reads, “A noumenon cannot be objectified as its phenomena.”  Of course, I am fictionalizing here, but I am not embarrassed enough not to project my guilt upon one suspiciously idealistic student of that university, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (7570-7631 U0′).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0261 Yes, sometimes false accusations are true.  But, not in the way that the deceiver would have you imagine them to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0262 Another century passes before a French neo-Thomist writes the subject of Razie Mah’s e-book, Comments on Jacques Maritain’s Book (1935) Natural Philosophy,<\/em> where the slogan that preserves the metaphysics-laden noumenon from triumphalist advocates of science<\/em> appears as what is<\/em> in the Positivist’s judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, I refer the reader back to points 0017-0027 and the start of Tabaczek’s emergence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
