  1. On Determinism, Causality, and Free Will: Contribution from Physics.Grzegorz P. Karwasz - 2021 - Roczniki Filozoficzne 69 (4):5-24.
    Determinism, causality, chance, free will and divine providence form a class of interlaced problems lying in three domains: philosophy, theology, and physics. Recent article by Dariusz Łukasiewicz in Roczniki Filozoficzne (no. 3, 2020) is a great example. Classical physics, that of Newton and Laplace, may lead to deism: God created the world, but then it goes like a mechanical clock. Quantum mechanics brought some “hope” for a rather naïve theology: God acts in gaps between quanta of indetermination. Obviously, any strict (...)

  • Aristotle’s Three Souls in Modern Science: Re-reading De Anima / Las tres almas de Aristóteles en la ciencia moderna: releyendo el De Anima.Grzegorz Piotr Karwasz - 2018 - Cauriensia 13:429-458.
    Los recientes avances en biofísica experimental –el desarrollo de técnicas de detección química ultrasensibles, como la espectroscopia de masas por transferencia de protones, la espectroscopia fotoacústica y la detección de señalización eléctrica – han mostrado que también las plantas exhiben una especie de “anima”: detectan, reaccionan comunican. Los documentales elaborados sobre la vida social de los animales sensibilizaron a la opinión pública sobre las similitudes entre las sociedades humanas y las manadas de animales. Esto crea una seria confusión cultural: ¿los (...)

  • Hylomorphism Extended: Dynamical Forms and Minds.Włodzisław Duch - 2018 - Philosophies 3 (4):36--0.
    Physical objects are compounds of matter and form, as stated by Aristotle in his hylomorphism theory. The concept of “form” in this theory refers to physical structures or organizational structures. However, mental processes are not of this kind, they do not change physical arrangement of neurons, but change their states. To cover all natural processes hylomorphism should acknowledge differences between three kinds of forms: Form as physical structure, form as function resulting from organization and interactions between constituent parts, and dynamical (...)
