I know some
scientists, like Stephen Hawking, are trying to generate this impression that
philosophy is dying. They even use a very interesting term, experimental
metaphysics. They claim that today with the latest thing that quantum
physics can do, we can put to an empirical test questions which were once
properly philosophical questions, like "Does the world have an end?"
and so on and so on.
I am an
ultra-optimist for philosophy. No, it’s not dying. I claim that
what is happening, for example, in quantum physics, in the last 100 of years,
things which are so daring, incredible, that we cannot include into our
conscious view of reality - Hegel’s philosophy, with all it’s dialectical
paradoxes, can be of some help here. I claim that reading quantum physics
through Hegel and vice versa is very productive.
