Sisteem, modale universaliteit en die onderskeiding tussen die kern en periferie van teorieë
Abstract
The indirect but nevertheless positive effect of a non-reductionist understanding of diverse categories – in the sense of modes of being – found in reality, embodies the liberating impact of the reformational philosophical tradition with its acceptance of the given diversity within reality as it is – and through this on the one hand succeeds to avoid the one-sidedness of “ismic” distortions and on the other to lay bare the untenability of reductionistic approaches. The analysis of the current system concept as well as the distinction advanced in the philosophy of science between die core and periphery of theories are incorporated in support of the aim to advance a non-reductionist ontology, further enhanced by a brief investigation of the relationship between unity and diversity and the spatial whole-parts relation. The crux all our positive, systematic considerations is found in the nature of modal universality.
