Clashing Magisteria
S tupid people say that science and religion donât conflict because they address different domains.
Stephen Jay Gould talks of non-overlapping magisteria . Wikipedia says, âNon-overlapping magisteria (NOMA) is the view ⦠that science and religion each represent different areas of inquiry â fact versus values â so that there is a difference between the ânetsâ over which they have âa legitimate magisterium, or domain of teaching authority,â and these two domains do not overlap.â
This is to spectacularly misunderstand what both scientists and the religious actually believe. The religious believe that their God is factual and that their holy texts deal with facts and arenât just fictions communicating parables about âvaluesâ. Also, scientists believe that science is everything . They believe in total physicalist causal closure, so they believe there is nothing outside their physicalist system â hence definitely no God, no souls, no heaven and no hell. Even values are basically denied by science. Science denies the reality of free will, so how are values possible?
Anything that cannot be subjected to the scientific method is, by definition, not scientific. Science does not then claim that there is some valid non-scientific domain. It denies the existence of anything non-scientific. As just noted, it posits physicalist causal closure, meaning that only scientific (physical) things exist and they constitute a completely closed system. There is nothing else. There is no other âmagisteriumâ â except of the order of pointless illusion or epiphenomenon, with no causal power.
The No.1 problem for science is that it is entirely reliant on mathematics, which is indeed, unfortunately for science, a completely separate magisterium, one that is reflective of reason and logic, not the human senses, observations, measurements, and experiments. Therefore, science uses another magisterium that explicitly contradicts it. Ontological mathematics resolves this problem by making mathematics the only magisterium. Science is simply its visible face (concerning the observable world), but is emphatically not its only face.
The mathematical magisterium is both noumenal and phenomenal, transcendent and immanent, rational and empirical, intelligible and sensible, signifier and signified, map and territory, universal and particular. It does everything science does, while fully explaining science.
For Schopenhauer, the phenomenal world of space, time, matter and causation, is all about the principle of sufficient reason, and the PSR is laid over Platoâs Ideas, which are immaterial and outside space and time â i.e. they are universals. In ontological mathematics, by contrast, the PSR is the root of everything. It defines the immaterial world of non-space and non-time â the mathematical, mental Singularity. The world so defined has inherent properties that inevitably lead to the creation of space, time and matter. These are already implicit in the system. Their seeds are fully present. There is no âemergenceâ, no random eruption of existents from non-existents, no infinite regress, no Multiverse, no probabilism, no uncertainty, no indeterminism, no magic and miracles. Everything, absolutely everything, has a sufficient reason; a complete explanation, a full etiology.
Plato imagined a Being called the Demiurge who had full access to the Universals
