Bošković's Absolute Dynamism and Techo(geno)-organogenic Knowledge
Franjo Zenko
Sažetak
In the first section, with the subheading R. J. Bošković (1711-1787): the historical (and) philosophical law-court of Croatian philosophy, the significance is considered that Bošković and his work acquired within Croatian philosophy through the first systematic study Filozofijski rad Ruđera Boškovića (The Philosophical Work of Ruđer Bošković) by Franjo Marković on the occasion of Bošković's death in 1887. In the second part with the title A Critical 'philosophical-scientific' approach to Bošković's work a fundamental philosophical approach is sought for Bošković's work through criticism of understending of his central work, Theoria philosophiae naturalis as a 'philosophy of science' in the contermporary, current meaning. A critical evaluation of possible meanings for this title of Bošković's work is considered. In the third part, Bošković's radical consideration of Newton, Bošković's absolute dynamism is demonstrated through analysis of his legitimate ontological consideration (legitima ratiocinatione) of five Newton's semidynamistic insights into the essence and nature of universal nature (universa natura). In the fourth part, Techno(geno)organogenicity of western science, as a real historical as sumption for Bošković's absolute dynamism the specifity of 'modern' science is considered as techno(geno)organogenic one (organon = instrument = tool!) which only as such could make possible Newton's 'synthesis' as essentially distinct from Aristotle's, which was purely theoretical and taumatic, and not 'technopoetic' and 'demiurgical'. The conclusion states that Bošković's absolute dynamism is the first radical consideration of fundamental philosophical assumptions of Newton's, i e. of the first synthesis of modern, techno(geno)organogenic science. Consistent with this, Bošković was the first genuine thinker of the New Age, analogous to E. Cassirer's insight according to which Bošković's work Theoria is the »principal work of the age« (das Hauptwerk der Epoche).
