L'irrealite du temps et de l'espace
APPROCHE PHILOSOPHIQUE DE LA SCIENCE ET DE LA PSYCHOLOGIE
Kaplan Francis - Collection Passages
Résumé
--
Firstly the author seeks to define the concepts of time and space not the reality, but what we have in mind when we refer to them. He observes that from that viewpoint, reality, at first sight, only vaguely corresponds - that they are 'ideal-types' - and that we are obliged to adjust them if they are to fit. Quantum mechanics, cosmology and plain psychological experience seem to push us even further on, to access a reality that is neither temporal or spatial but there again, only in an ambiguous and negative manner. If, instead of investigating reality, we look at time and space themselves, we observe that they are essentially subjective, like sensations: i.e. that they are no more the image of reality than the sensation of red produced by a poppy is the image of the real poppy. It is true that an electromagnetic wave corresponds to the sensation of red. So, something in reality must correspond to time and space, but while we know what corresponds to sensations, we cannot apply it to these two concepts, since no positive access exists to a non-temporal and non-spatial reality. Which obliges us to live in a dual register - in a mode of temporal and spatial reality and in a mode of their unreality.
