An Essay on Subjectivism and Realism in Symbolic Logic and Cosmology

A philosophical essay by Gary Cliffor Gibson on subjectivism and realism.

The capability of creating an infinite number of dimensions and universes may be one of the attributes of God that we wonder of. For whom the physical and phenomenal Universe are transparent relationships may be the most important or value added items so far as humanity is concerned, and it is in this concern about relationships that an existentialist, spiritual and phenomenal reflection upon both realism and nominalism may find a congruent field for contemplation.

Analytic philosophy may regard the technical and meaningful subject of names and necessity as phenomenally real. The transcendental value of names as descriptions work at a particular magnitude and fade away farther removed from origin and employment. The original and accurate meanings in theory could be recovered if one were to return to that source, yet like date stamped products marketed in stores the original meaning and quality of the products may decline over time. That process of the decay of meaning reflects the physical decline of the existing forms of the Universe that also rise and fall as a natural process of change in space-time. The dynamic nature of space-time may be a scuppers structure implicitly, tectonically, subducting old continents, galaxies and forms and producing new. The topological changes of meanings and forms may be a consequence of a deeper, eternal structure or super-form underlying all nominal change. Philosophers of the 21st century may have a better opportunity to find physical and theoretical examples of the parallelism and unification of deep structures of change and continuity such as the pre-Socratics Parmenides and Heraclitus considered, as well as Plato.

The existential contemplation of the phenomenal existence of anything, that we may call an issuance from The One, was a question that the neo-Platonist philosopher Plotinus and Jean Paul Sartre each might have exhausted a life-time in speculating about. Sartre of course might have contemplated his own mind and the limits of it’s experience while Plotinus would have considered all that exists including mind as a kind of complex creation phenomenally issued from The One (God).

Contemporary philosophers might equally wonder why anything existed at all in the pre-big bang phase of the meta-cosmos for anything to expand from, even if it existed in some pre-temporal context forever or at least prior to a temporal sequence. The interest that analytic philosophers may bring to epistemology and cosmology would seem to rest upon metaphysics, theology and logic supported by increasing streams of data provided by mathematicians, physicists and astrophysicists. Unique phenomenal name descriptions of place-time events are contingent upon the phenomenal purpose of reality and each particular referent experienced in it. The complexity of constructions of phenomenal names for phenomenal objects in a temporal universal sequence arise from the same underlying one source of all reality and its physical forces. The purposes of names and of referents or objects-in-themselves are contingent upon the Intelligence of the Creator and/or the persistence of meaning given by the provider of names. Adam’s names have meaning for Adam’s mind and others like-minded.
