They were joined by Poincaré and Weyl. Eduard Prugovecki states that quantum gravity has forced the consideration of some fundamental epistemological questions, which can be identified in philosophy with the mind-body problem and the problem of … Citeşte mai mult

Epistemology of Loop Quantum Gravity in the Context of Canonical Quantum Gravity
Sfetcu, Nicolae (2024), Epistemology of Loop Quantum Gravity in the Context of Canonical Quantum Gravity, Cunoașterea Științifică, 3:2, 22-35, DOI: 10.58679/CS49587, https://www.cunoasterea.ro/epistemology-of-loop-quantum-gravity-in-the-context-of-canonical-quantum-gravity/ Abstract In the quest to comprehend the fundamental nature of the universe, physicists have delved into the realms of quantum mechanics and general relativity. However, joining these two pillars of modern physics into a unified framework has been a longstanding challenge. Canonical Quantum Gravity, particularly in the form of Loop Quantum Gravity, emerges as a prominent contender … Citeşte mai mult

Humanism, Becoming and the Demiurge in The Adventures of Pinocchio
Sfetcu, Nicolae (2023), Humanism, Becoming and the Demiurge in The Adventures of Pinocchio, Cunoașterea Științifică, 2:2, 154-158, DOI: 10.58679/CS44127, https://www.cunoasterea.ro/humanism-becoming-and-the-demiurge-in-the-adventures-of-pinocchio/ Abstract The common thread of Pinocchio’s story is his desire to become a human being. Unlike some creators who approached the adventures of Pinocchio in the context of posthumanism the transhumanism embraces technological progress while strongly defending human rights and individual choice. Pinocchio is aware of his incompleteness: he seeks during the story to become „a real boy.” Human … Citeşte mai mult

Identity and Artificial Intelligence in The Adventures of Pinocchio
Sfetcu, Nicolae (2023), Identity and Artificial Intelligence in The Adventures of Pinocchio, Cunoașterea Științifică, 2:2, 114-118, DOI: 10.58679/CS55681, https://www.cunoasterea.ro/identity-and-artificial-intelligence-in-the-adventures-of-pinocchio/ Abstract Pinocchio is, above all, what he is not. His identity is often played to the limit, imagined by himself and everyone he meets along the way. Pinocchio is the name of life that is simultaneously inorganic, human and animal. For this reason, it is the possible name of a radical desertion: to identify at the same time with oneself … Citeşte mai mult
