| Feb 5, 2021 at 22:59 | comment | added | Conifold | Are you familiar with DeLanda's interpretation of Deleuze's philosophy of physics (which is more accessible than the source), in Intensive Science and Virtual Philosophy? Deleuze is technically a materialist, but continental, plenty dialectical and no Marxist. See also Deleuze and Science volume, which includes Plotnitsky's piece on Deleuzian view of QFT. | |
| Feb 5, 2021 at 22:39 | comment | added | niels nielsen | Well then, I suggest you post this on the physics SE- but be warned, the folks over there are not generally receptive to efforts to recast physics in philosophical terms, since from the standpoint of working physicists, the field of philosophy has nothing to add or contribute to it. But if there is anyone at all who can comment on the applicability of Hegelian thought to physics, the physics SE is most likely where you will find them. | |
| Feb 5, 2021 at 22:31 | comment | added | Nelson Alexander | I'm probably not knowledgeable enough to be "specific." That's why I'm looking for reference works. But issues like entanglement or black holes or anthropic principle always have a "Hegelian" flavor to me. For example, Hegel points out the seeming contradictions in the idea of gravity, then, as a "universal attraction." To what? Or the idea of "matter," in those days, defined as a kind of mutual externality of substance but also as mutually attracting from a mathematical "center" point or ideal "interiority." For the amateur like me these can be evocative ways to think about it. | |
| Feb 5, 2021 at 21:46 | comment | added | niels nielsen | specifically, which puzzles in cosmology and quantum physics are you talking about? and specifically, in what manner would Hegel's keen sense of paradox be well suited to solving those puzzles? | |
