--- abstract: "The sound producing machinery of change is a viral element in the problems of\r\ncivilization. A silent relation that is unmoved, as it is unexposed to the power of the\r\ndiscourse of change and a silent logic of volumetric processes, together illustrated to\r\ncompanion empirical nature are employed for the elaboration of historical conceptual\r\nparadox involving mind and matter. Mind, conceived as an enduring state of the\r\nbecoming of energy into a state of matter, and matter as the constantly becoming\r\nenvironment, are tested with criteria of witnessibility for consistency to capture an\r\nacceptably reasoned description, from a modern perspective, of cultural evolution. A\r\nself-generating friction at the conceptual border of the social and natural sciences, as the\r\nrecurring source of the problems of civilization, is discussed. The philosophies of logical\r\npositivism and post modernism referenced from the elaborated philosophy are determined\r\nto reflect a need for a representation of nature that is independent of temporal and\r\nphysical parameters of perspective. Emergence is discussed within the framework of first\r\nwitness perspective and a visually based mathematical-physical model of space is\r\nelaborated.\r\n" altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: - kirsh2152000@yahoo.com creators_name: - family: Kirsh given: Marvin/E. honourific: Dr. lineage: '' date: 2010-05-01 date_type: submitted datestamp: 2010-06-06 14:33:44 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/68/49 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: 0 edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 6849 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/6849/1/05_20_2010_Path_and_Knowledge_main_text_48_non_blind_for_conference.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: ~ issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'universal consciousness; holism;logical positivism, post modernism, emergence, structure and function, egg shape of space; "the concept", inversion, mobius strip, cultural evolution' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:57:37 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: ~ pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: "Bourdieu, Pierre, Outline of a Theory of Practice Richard Nice trans, Cambridge University Press, NewYork 1977.\r\n\r\nBurnet,John, Early Greek Philosophy by John Burnet, 3rd edition .
