Abstract

The author creates a synthesis of Witkacy’s ontology with Whitehead’s ontology. The common approach of both philosophers to Einstein will be marked, as well as similar solution to the problem of the relations of logic to intuition.
The author distinguishes monadological fundamentalism from event-based fundamentalism. Are these fundamentalism incompatible? The author supposes hat energy quanta do not have to be something anti-monadic, and it would be equated the evolution of the our universe with he expansion of energy quanta (e.g. in the era of cosmic inflation) and their transformation into dead and living matter – and dead matter would either contain manadic potencies or would be some kind of their expression. It is partially accepted H.P. Stapp interpretation of the whiteheadian ontology (an interpretation using the concept of the collapse of the wave function). However, instead of Whitehead’s panpsychism, the author proposes Witkiewicz’s psychobiology. Is it possible to understand the actualization of potential event-monads by means of decoherence mechanism (W. Żurek) and the principles of the quantum Darwinism?
