Theory: The Essence of Life

PROPOSITIONS

The ‘living’ structure distinguishes itself from the ‘non-living’ structure through fallibility. The most fundamental — and at the same time sufficiently general — concept for neutrally describing a fallible structure in reality is ‘theory’.
‘Theory’ is therefore an optimal concept for indicating the basic structure of ‘life’ — in the domain of everyday reality, the sciences, and philosophy alike.

Michel van der Burg*

STELLINGEN

De ‘levende’ structuur onderscheidt zich van de ‘niet-levende’ structuur door de feilbaarheid. Het meest fundamentele — en tevens voldoende algemene — concept om neutraal een feilbare structuur in de werkelijkheid te beschrijven, is ‘theorie’.
‘Theorie’ is daarom een optimaal begrip om de basale structuur van ‘leven’ aan te geven — zowel op het terrein van de alledaagse werkelijkheid, de wetenschappen, als de filosofie.

Note : The Dutch dissertation system has a tradition of accompanying the generally very specialised PhD thesis with ten or more propositions (other ‘theses’), that should be ‘defensible’, and while at least some should be related to the dissertation, others generally reflect the PhD candidate’s broader interests, and the last one is often playful.
