Język filozofii a problem nie-śmiertelności
Veken, Jan van der (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Papieskiej Akademii Teologicznej w Krakowie, 1991)
In the cognitive perspective offered by Whiteheadian process philosophy, a new possibility arises to develop the concept of objective immortality that was proposed by Whitehead himself in his paper on imortality delivered at the Harvard Divinity School on April 22, 1941. When traditional doctrines about afterlife have lost much of their credibility, for both non-believers and believers, at least part of the reason is that the language in which those doctrines are couched has remained uninterpreted. The paper proposes a solution that contains a conflation of Ian. T. Ramsey’s analysis of the language of immortality and Whitehead’s metaphysical position on universal relatedness. The author reserves the word ‘person’ and ‘personal order’ for routes of occasions which are distinctively human. In this approach it is meaningful to talk about the „immortality” of man and the superjective nature of all past occasions since in God’s consequent nature the coordination of many personal individualities occurs.
