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.
