Alternatives To Materialistic Forms of Scientific Empiricism
Discussion
Jennifer Gidley:
"Alternatives to materialistic forms of scientific empiricism have been offered along the way through
- Goethe’s delicate empiricism (Holdrege, 2005; Robbins, 2006);
- James’ cosmological realism (Gitre,2006); and
- Whitehead’s process metaphysics (Gare, 1999),"
History
Jennifer Gidley:
"Arguably the origins of western science were based on Hermetic science until the 17th century CE(Kepler, 1619/1997).
- See also theSussex University Newton Project http://www.newtonproject.sussex.ac.uk/prism.php?id=1 .
- Johannes Kepler linked his Hermetic writings with the ancient Egyptians in recently translated writings on the
musica mundana — or harmony of the spheres — available for the first time in English via the Schiller Institute in Washington, DC (Kepler, 1619/1997). More information about the Kepler Project of the Schiller Institute is available. http://www.wlym.com/~animations/harmonies/index.php
