Quick Overview

 

One Proposed Working Hypothesis

Potentialism Theory hypothesizes that if we introduce one (conceptualized) metaphysical concept - Quest for Potential∞  - as the eternal 'driver' of the Cosmic Order, then entire inter-related clusters of hitherto unresolved issues across science, religion, metaphysics and philosophy -  including (but not limited to) cosmology, cosmogony, theogony, theodicy, teleology and evolutionary biology - are all simultaniously lanced.


A well-vetted and quite-possibly correct simultaneous solution - a fully integrated, all-embracing metaphysics / new paradigm - is perhaps something worth evaluating. One concept (Quest for Potential∞) resolving conundrums across a dozen+ fields? If essentially on the mark, it would indeed transform the world as we know it.

That is what SummaMetaphysica/Potentialism has proposed - starting with the focus on theodicy in Summa I: God and Evil in 1988.


All data-points vector towards the theory being correct.  After 28+ years of public vetting, not a single flaw has been discerned in it.  And as we know from 7th grade mathematics, elegant possible simultaneous solutions inevitably have a way of turning out to be correct.

Potentialism proposes that our universe indeed has a direction (Quest for Potential∞).  Advocates of an aimless and random universe have been having a public nervous breakdown over the theory since God and Evil (Summa I) was published by KTAV twenty-eight years - and six printings - ago in 1988. 


Potentialism Theory is, as well, simple yet powerful (i.e. infinitely nested).  And indeed, to add irony to the potentially pivotal theory, its proposed key to the cosmic code - Quest for Potential∞ - has always been 'hiding in plain sight'.


The theory can be viewed through a religious lens (see Summa Metaphysica I: God and Evil); a spiritual lens (see Summa Metaphysica II: God and Good) or a secular lens (see Summa Metaphysica III: The Transcendent Dynamic). 


The theory shatters various 'idols' along the way.  The world is not flat, nor is the universe random - by any means.  The universe may be far more dynamic and fully-integrated than hitherto suspected, to put matters mildly.


Various entrenched 'priesthoods' - whether in academe or otherwise - will diss any truly threatening paradigm - and will fight rearguard battles, sometimes vicious ones, to protect their power prerogatives.  But these reactionary efforts against a formidable new paradigm will ultimately fail. 


Ultimately, the most powerful currency prevails in commerce, and the most powerful ideas/concepts prevail in the history of ideas.  Thomas S. Kuhn discussed the fierce institutional resistance faced by paradigm challenges.  See his 1962 classic, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions.

One can argue that my little Harvard degree is not in philosophy - or one can look at the overwhelming evidence behind the proposition - and 'listen to the music'.

 
I invite you to examine the hypothesis and expand your minds and your souls. 

Sincerely,
