A Reflection on the Book Philosophy of Representations

Abstract

In Philosophy of Representations, Spužić examines the intricate processes of thinking, understanding, memorising, expressing, and explaining, using "representation" as a broad term encompassing both mental (internal) and external (e.g., essays, graphs) forms. He seeks objective representations grounded in logic, and scrutinise anthropic bias by tracing reality from simple, noncontradictory evidence-such as objects occupying space-through logical induction and deduction. Starting with the observation that humans and their world are part of an infinite space filled with matter in motion, Spužić argues that they are inseparable and eternal, rejecting the emphasis on a temporal "beginning". He carefully selects the measures in attempt to rely on their non-anthropic significance and hierarchy. Time is interpreted as a derived variable from matter's movement, contrasting with the conventional space-time continuum upheld by figures like Galileo, Newton, and Einstein. Instead criticising mainstream scientific models-tied to space, time, mass, and forces like gravityhe avoids denials but rather relies on the boundary scientific theories and thinkers like Heisenberg. He proposes a novel framework where three spatial dimensions collapse into one representational "line", supplemented only by logically necessary variables like matter, represented as infinite, nested spheres of motion (multiaxial vortices). This avoids anthropic distortions such as space-time curvature, and allows for addressing mysteries like gravity and quantum entanglement. While acknowledging science's empirical success, he suggests that too rigid adherence to the laws valid in known world obstruct capturing reality's complexity. Humanity, as matter in motion, shapes its influence on the world, and must continuously update its representations. Spužić urges caution against ignoring the traps of anthropic bias. This work offers a bold, logic-driven rethinking of how we represent existence, balancing empirical rigor with philosophical depth, though its dense abstraction may challenge conventional paradigms.
