Dear Prasad Ramesh Divate!
I enjoyed reading your essay.
You write:
"I think rationalism is awareness of selfexistence and beyond it is the ultimate reality that is completeness. So one can say that rationality is incompleteness. According to hindu philosophy incompleteness is nothing but incompleteness in knowledge and existence. . God is unpredictable, uncomputable and undecidable because there is incompleteness in our knowledge and existence. Faith is the only way we can remove our incompleteness and not the intelligence."
I agree with your thought. But Western philosophy approached a similar idea quite logically. I think, therefore I am" - is the phrase by Rene Descartes, which became a foundation of Western philosophy. Moreover, it can be logically followed with: "I think, therefore I am - therefore thought exists". Having admitted this inevitable conclusion we inevitably face the question whether thought existence is the existence we imply speculating of the being of things and processes in the Universe. Yes, that is true. The progress in the sphere of information technology has shown that one cannot deny the objective nature of information processes as well as the objectiveness of information existence as such. It was the global computerization that made us look at the world from a different angle. "What if the whole of the Universe is a single huge superpowerful self-adaptive computer?" There are certain grounds for this kind of hypothesis. Firstly, electromagnetic waves record and transfer information quite naturally. The eye and the brain work together like a scanner, which enables us to see. Secondly, every atom has several discreet states and can be considered as the initial logical element, a cell in a global information structure. Thus, one should admit that we say "Thought exists!" because we realize the fact of its subjective being. Still we trace thought existence because it is the part of objective information reality. As everyone is aware that thought exists in his mind he analogically concludes thought exists in the mind of the other. Now it is high time we admitted that generally this OTHER one is the WHOLE WORLD!
Descartes was a mathematician and he realized that geometrical forms in space correspond to algebraic numerical forms. He realized that the world of material substance is combined with the world of cognitive substance. I agree with him. I hope you agree with this. I decided to evaluate your essay very positively.
I wish you the realization of your bold ideas and projects.
Yours sincerely -
