<<What remains for us to do, is to take seriously the task of understanding these objects as mediators between the scientific theory and human experience. Our role models in this should be science popularizers, whose role in the scientific enterprise is often discounted. What a science popularizer does is to explain “in human terms” what complicated scientific theories mean, which must also involve the aestheticization that I’ve described. What we need is science with a human face.>>
Congratulations! An extremely deep essay with important ideas for the advancement of science.
It is obvious that if at the very beginning of the scientific revolution of the New Tim" there was a conscious constant financial support for at least three scientific programs (Newton, Descartes, Leibniz), then physics would not become Phenomenalist Physics, but would be Ontological Physics, i.e. physics "with human face." And television would have appeared in the 19th century. And today, theoretical physicists would not raise questions about the nature of space and time (Carlo Rovelli "Physics Needs Philosophy / Philosophy Needs Physics", 2017). Taking into account the urgent need to overcome the modern conceptual - paradigmatic crisis in the metaphysical / ontological basis of fundamental science, just as a "crisis of understanding" ("J. Horgan "The End of Science", Kopeikin K.V. "Souls" of atoms and "atoms" of the soul : Wolfgang Ernst Pauli, Carl Gustav Jung and "three great problems of physics"), Such support is also needed today for alternative scientific programs, for example, the scientific program of the Nobel Prize winner in physics, B. Josephson.
Yes, the role of popularizers of science is extremely important. I understand this as Open Science on a solid ontologically grounded basis.
Here we recall good philosophical testaments for theoretical physicists:
John A. Wheeler: “We are no longer satisfied with insights only into particles, fields of force, into geometry, or even into time and space. Today we demand of physics some understanding of existence itself."
"Philosophy is too important to be left to philosophers."
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin: "The true physics is that which will, one day, achieve the inclusion of man in his wholeness in a coherent picture of the world."
A.N. Whitehead: “A precise language must await a completed metaphysical knowledge.”
Physicist, do not be afraid of metaphysics!
