EVOLUTION, DESIGN AND THE ABSOLUTE The Finite and the Infinite Anil Mitra
The Story: “Evolution and Design” 1987 as a focal origin • Personal: development and opportunity • Understanding - Human enterprise “design” in relation to Universal “evolution” • Conscious and “blind” evolution • Evolution as an ontology drawing together modern disciplines, all cultures, and all origins
Evolution and Design: Some Results • Knowledge: As whole, details and dynamics • Designs and plans: individual and universal • Global consultation… the idea of HRI and H.E. • An individual facing existence • Evaluating global endeavor by universal context • An example of an absolute metaphysics - absolute by its very fluidity
Origins of inclusion of the ABSOLUTE Evolution and Design • My continuing search • A paradigm at its limits • The Absolute as its complement and consequence • Larger questions: final nature of being; destinies; evaluating Evolution and Design; the immediate and the ultimate • Extending the results and realms of application
The Idea of the Absolute • Absolute Knowledge: Multiple World Views • The Absolute in the Present • Final claims and immediate fluidity: play • Ancient knowledge and modernism • The Absolute is accessible: the path is beautiful, continues on and begins here at my feet
The Path - 1 All Modes of Experience, Knowledge, Culture, Process and Being • Nature: physical, organic…and the wild • Society: cultures, groups and dynamics • Psyche: consciousness and mind • Universal: dynamics and the unconscious
The Path - 2: Details • Builds upon what exists: memory, genetics, process…or coding, form and “function” • Speculative-experiential-selective-critical • Plural in inclusion… and singular in ends or conclusions: Finite and Infinite Detail and Whole Here-Now and The absolute
SOURCES • From Idea to Being • The Modes of Experience, Process… • From Plato to Heidegger to de Chardin… • Western World • Survey of and experience with cultures • Field of Being and Ideas
