11. Lemma body

    1. The author deals with the consequences of theories of Modern Physics about the microcosm and the macrocosm, which take into account the human consciousness and observation as essential parts in the constitution of scientific knowledge.

       After presenting the features and limits of scientific method in its attempt to give a unified view of the world, the author treats the differences between the Newtonian mechanics (linked to an absolute determinism) and the Quantum theory (linked to a partial determinism) together with their relevant core concepts.

       Giving an overview of the main theories (relativity, quantum, Big Bang) and topics of modern physics ( uncertainty principle, plausibility, matter, time and space, anthropic principle, entropy), Sarris focuses on the impact of contemporary Physics on the image of Nature and its laws, as well as on the epistemology.

       The author argues that modern science reflects and puts forward the relation between nature and man and does no more claims to encapsulate the whole truth and essence of beings. Man is considered as an explanatory factor in the understanding of the Universe. In this way, Physics becomes a branch of anthropology. Science, aware of its limits, can bring to light the immanent intelligibility of Creation in order to overpass the gap between Man and Nature and to restore an effective love of the Created world.
