TRANS-DISCIPLINARY VOCATION OF THE TRIADIC THEMATA

摘要

Thematic dyads (permanence - becoming, experience - formalism, complex – simple, reductionism - holism, continuous – discontinuous, structural hierarchy – unit) originate in our general faculty of imagination, and they represent ideas - power, ideas – myths, which meet a compelling choice, within the prevailing paradigm, between: matter - spirit, substance – form, analysis - synthesis, mechanical - organic, determination - chance, causality - finality. Themata means here “the well-established and widespread fundamental preconceptions that cannot be simply reduced to observation or analytical calculation, or derived from them” (G. Holton). This study aims to analyze the triadic themata and their fruitful application in the “hard sciences” as well as in the soft ones. In this respect, the dynamic model of the social self seems to be very similar to the one of the Holy Trinity, demonstrating a common “pattern of thought”.
