Space, Time, and Science-Opera Omnia, Volume-12

Folume XII, the last one in the structure of this Opera Omnia, includes V articles and books dealing with science that were published in the early years of my production. Even though their contents and style may now sound quite outdated, I nonetheless decided to insert them here as a reminder of that period and the issues in which I was then interested. In particular the prologue, "A Synthetic Vision of the Universe," is remarkably outdated, but it presents some insights that I still consider meaningful.

The theme of this book starts with the conception of time linked to a scientific vision of reality.

Omnia tempus babent.

(All things have a time of their own].

This time is not something that envelops the being externally, but an integral and specific dimension of each being that is, in the sense that it has a duration, and its duration consists precisely in the fact that it is this particular being and not another. The time of the technological civilization has caused a profound conflict within Man by altering his life rhythm. Should Man refuse technology or, on the contrary, reinforce it and be integrated in progress? This is an inescapable conflict.

At this point it should be noted that technology has an ontonomic nature, and therefore an intrinsic relationship both with the world and with Man. In fact, the relationship between Man and technology is as deep and intimate as that between technology and nature. Man generates technology by starting from nature. Technology is originally produced by Man's interest in the earth and matter.
