The study begins from the premise that classical physics assumed strict determinism and absolute objectivity, but the discoveries of quantum mechanics and relativity revealed the limitations of this view, introducing the element of "uncertainty" and the role of the observer in the production of knowledge. It also links this shift to a reconfiguration of the concept of reason through a distinction between "computational reason," based on proof and mathematical logic, and "emotional reason," associated with meaning, imagination, and faith.
The paper discusses the development of scientific methodologies and multi-valued logic theories as expressions of an inability to reach final epistemic closure.
Through a comparison between Western and Eastern consciousness, and between myth and science, the study concludes that modern humans are reproducing symbolic mythological patterns to compensate for the loss of certainty. It asserts that scientific knowledge has become relative and open-ended, and that epistemic stability requires a holistic framework that goes beyond the limits of empirical science.
