Foundations of Natural Sciences and Their Significance for the Dialogue of Cultures in the World

Abstract

Theories of physics have high information value. Some natural phenomena of the deterministic chaos, cosmogonist theories, and implications of quantum mechanics point to interesting indications that are beyond the competencies of physics itself. The reason to refuse extreme optimism in knowledge does not consist in Windelband’s theory which strictly separates sciences of various origins but on certain restrictions which are based directly on physical principles. That is why no unequivocal worldview conclusions can be drawn from the knowledge of physics, which forces us to accept these consequences and adapt to them on the social level. The existence of a parallel dialogue among cultures is the basic precondition for improving world security. This paper uses the consequences of physics as arguments and the conclusions include some of Martin Heidegger’s views.
