Hi Wim
I found this quote which seems to be pertinent to our topic of discussion:
‘… just as the quantum of action appears in the account of atomic phenomena
as an
element for which an explanation is neither possible nor required, the
notion of
life is elementary in biological science …’ (Neils Bohr)
Seen as discrete yet continuous levels, the quantum of action as inorganic
moral force, life as biological moral force, and celebrity (see Lila) as
social moral force require no explanation nor is one possible. I am not
quite sure my mind wraps entirely around your analogy but it seems you are
attempting to reduce the irreducible.
How wrong am I?
Dan
