Overkott's formula 1 is a model of epistemology. Its goal is to show the simple structure of all theories.
The first idea of the formula 1 is that 1 = 1 and not 1 = 0. ( That seems to be funny but you can find students of mathematics who claim 1 = 0 at least for a little while. ) The second idea is that 1 = x * 1/x. That means that 1 stands for all and x * 1/x for everything. 1 is the symbol for principle, unity, God, "I am", identity, self, subject, community, peace, equity price, premise, paradigm 0 is the symbol for nothing. Nothing does not exist. That is the main argument against nihilism. All theories develop a subject: theo, geo, bio... in a -logy. That way you say analog to the second idea of the formula: theo = logy, geo = logy, bio = logy The subject is the name of the -logy as a set of coherent ideas. The -logy is the definition of the subject. Every -logy can consist out of new subjects or premises of lower theories. You can also write the formula the other way round: x * 1/x = 1 Be careful: In the beginning there was only one word, the premise and a set of ideas as development. Now you find a set of premises that come to a conclusion. The first way was deductive, the second inductive. The first way is the method to explain a theory, the second to built a theory. Let's start with theology first, you will see later why. Theology defines God according to the Bible. The first sentence is the headline, leading sentence and teaser: God is the traditional word for all and the principle of everything. Therefore God as the word for all being exists per definition. God is existence. God is eternal life. In the opposite the subject of a natural science is a self-restriction in principle onto bio or geo or stuff like that. A natural science does not talk about all but only about a part of all. A natural science does not search for a general reason but for a special. Theology has a wider approach, natural sciences look closer. They do not contradict in principle but have their own topics, questions and methods. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BETTER PERSONALITY GROUP" group.
