And contemplative in its essence Buddhism, by contrast, thought that truth is revealed in front of each of your gaze.
It was shown above how difficult to object to both.
Be that as it may, but practical advance of mankind both in technical, and in moral the relations show that coincidence of aspirations of people with cognizable by them to the main natural and public regularities in refraction them to the solution of practical tasks lead actions of people to real achievements. Means, truth nevertheless exists!?
But really truth has only relative, banal or pragmatic character? Perhaps, there is aught beyond the current reality which nevertheless can be understood intuitively and added to the few fundamental truths.
It seems that to approach to decision of this problem is only possible due to clarify the correlation of such categories as beingness, consciousness, information.
1.2. The active and the passive in the unity and a division
Beingness in the usual formulation is existence of things. However in our opinion, this understanding is not enough, because to explain this existence as a separate is impossible.
Therefore God arises inevitably for some – divine source and the prime propulsor of these things (the real).
The opposite camp as opposed to this view puts forward a hypothesis of self-development of matter.
Both aren't represented by satisfactory interpretations of existence of the real.
As for God, this omnipotent, live, external and infinite being is so contradictory and fantastic, that it is only possible to believe in him from hopelessness, that and happening. More in details on these and other properties of God we will stop below.
If to present matter in the form of some formation which itself moves and always was in motion, and in this motion it forms else, including consciousness, then, firstly, if to prove that motion is visibility, or rather, motion is secondarily, appearing only owing to technical transformation of process of updating of copies of things in consciousness of living beings in motion, then self-development of a matter does not exist. Secondly, it has long been proven, that the genome of any living being is so complex that a self-assembly, self-development is impossible for it. However, the living beings exist and there are even the living beings, conscious of themselves, i.e. the people themselves. Thirdly, inasmuch it is recognized that self-development is the ongoing progressive process, then it must have initial and final conditions.
All it means that thinkers of all ages have underestimated the complexity and ambiguity of the next factor: who we – the people – such in truth, as well as in what we are situated.
However, Parmenides tried to prove that beingness is one thing, that there is no motion in it , there is no origination and destruction: “… it is universal, existing alone, immovable and without end; nor ever was it nor will it be, since it now is, all together, one, and continuous” [14, p. 37-39]. Regarding the world in which we are, then he put it so: “It is necessary to say and to think that What Is is; for it is to be,/ but nothing it is not. These things I bid you ponder./ For I shall begin for you from this first way of inquiry,/ then yet again from that along which mortals who know nothing/ wander two-headed: for haplessness in their/ breasts directs wandering understanding. They are borne along/ deaf and blind at once, bedazzled, undiscriminating hordes,/ who have supposed that it is and is not the same/ and not the same; but the path of all these turns back on itself” [14, p. 37-39]. That is, he believes this world is the seeming world of opinions and senses.
It is necessary to tell that Parmenides's idea about beingness as the uniform, the eternal and the motionless, which seems absurd, actually can explain a lot of things in existence, if to assume that the except eternal, infinite Uniform there is not seeming, but quite the material, real world in time which is united indissolubly with the eternal Uniform in a certain sustainable system, both components which support each other.
To assume this, of course, possible, but it would be desirable to receive the answer to a question: how functions this system.
Beingness, if to see under it everything existing, or existing things, can't be manifested in absence of consciousness in any way. In other words, if the consciousness was not, as such, then and beingness there would not be – there would be nothing. This fact is, apparently, the primary cause of the appearance in human consciousness of the concept of God-creator.
The first of philosophers this ratio between consciousness and things quite distinctly, albeit in his own way, understood Berkeley: “IV. It is indeed an Opinion strangely prevailing amongst Men, hat Houses, Mountains, Rivers, and in a word all sensible Objects have an Existence Natural or Real, distinct from their being perceived by the Understanding. But with how great an Assurance and Acquiescence soever this principle may be entertained in the World; yet whoever shall find in his Heart to call it in Question, may, if I mistake not, perceive it to involve a manifest Contradiction. For what are the forementioned Objects but the things we perceive by Sense, and what do we perceive besides our own Ideas or Sensations; and is it not plainly repugnant that any one of these or any Combination of them should exist unperceived?” [9, p. 13].
In this statement of Berkeley traced the idea that without existence of senses and reason is problematic existence of everything else, inasmuch there are no one and nothing to perceive the rest. However, Berkeley out of this draws the conclusion, characteristic for his time: “XXVI. … there is no corporeal or material Substance: it remains therefore that the Cause of Ideas is an incorporeal active Substance or Spirit” [9, p. 19].
Whatever it was, but Berkeley is correct in his assumption that without consciousness the world does not exist, it simply cannot be as beingness: in this case the world is already non-existence, nothingness.
Our own existence means that a contradiction is in the infinite and eternal Uniform, as a result of which it, remaining uniform, infinite and timeless, along with that is discretely in infinite number of finite worlds, acquiring time of existence.
Otherwise, Uniform would have remained in non-existence. This means that infinite and timeless Uniform potentially contains all, including at least aught the passive and aught the active which are able to exist as the projection of Uniform into time, i.e. in finite changes. Question consists only in the mechanism providing this duality: in Uniform potentially there is everything and along with that Uniform is nothingness, inasmuch separately it is non-existence. On the other hand, there is its twin, or a projection in which there is time. In other words, Creation (system of a world order) is the infinite timeless Uniform, and along with that – aught the finite, manifesting itself in time infinitely that we designate as beingness, or existing things in its last embodiment, perceived by us as the real.
The fact that some "mechanism" of manifestation of the world in the form known to us exists one can hardly deny, and most simple its realization is power of God, or power of the spirit.
Such conclusion did Berkeley, who considered possible existence of only the incorporeal, the spiritual.
However the incorporeal is non-being, which must stay in it owing to impossibility of emergence in this "Nothingness" of internal contradictions with their exit "outwards" – in beingness. We observe quite real picture of the world, and the things, which are in it, aren't incorporeal, on the one hand, at this, consciousness, on the other hand, interacting, in particular, with a body, despite own elusiveness, is quite effective and material force which is reflected in the psyche and transformation of sensations into constantly shifting picture of the world.
Husserl, investigating consciousness in its ratio with beingness, despite different fluctuations, ultimately, like Berkeley, acknowledged the possibility of existence of only consciousness even if the whole world will disappear: “Consequently, no real being, no being which is presented and legitimated in consciousness by appearances is necessary to the being of consciousness itself (in the broadest sense, the stream of mental processes)” [10, p. 110].
Avenarius and Mach prove that without consciousness there is no matter, and without matter there is no consciousness so how in experiment distinction between subject and object disappears. On this basis they deny existence out of the
