The Dialectic Epistemological Possibility of Objects related to Dark Energy and Dark Matter: Supplementary Study to the Epistemic Justification of Whole-Reason

Description

The study takes up the notion expounded in recent research that the modern disciplines of epistemology and science are implicitly engaged in a constant reciprocal dialectic, and then such a dialectic as has been historically characterized by the incognizant usage of an epistemically unjustified form of reasoning that connects, directs and delimits the respective discourses of these disciplines in conceptually problematic ways. Upon the newly formulated epistemology of reason the current discourse gives demonstration to how the identified dialectic can be explicitly utilized over the use of an epistemically justified form of reasoning to develop more sophisticated scientific knowledges of investigated objects. Here the cosmological phenomena related to the hypotheses of respectively dark energy and dark matter will be theoretically reflected through the logico-semantic structuring of the ‘whole’ form of reason, and thus rationally developed into a novel scientific formulation of potentially testable object knowledge.     

Notes

An early version of the basic argument of the presented cosmological principle/dynamic was originally proposed as part of a book first published in 2013 by the same author. Book title: The Premise of Non-locality.
