Science and the Last Things

Abstract

The author of the article aims at justifying the following theses: (1) never will scientific knowledge be able to solve the mystery of the world, including the mystery of such  dimensions of exemplification of universals as time and space; (2) cosmic and biological evolution do not generate universals but follow in accordance  with  them;  (3)  the  rationality  we  observe  in  the  world  can  only  be explained  if  we  assume  the  existence  of  universals  independent  from  human minds; (3) human immaterial soul is a power of configuring the physical and the organic activities of human body; (4) the existence of human free will points at the fact that human persons belong both, to the material world and to the ‘spiritual realm’ which is now inaccessible for us; (5) the aim of the creation of the world  and creation of various kinds of persons (human and non-human) was to enable the emergence of intersubjectivity; (6) semantic communication between human persons is the first step towards the participation in  the infinite creative power of God.
