In
our Krakow's presentation of the "Health - as a central ontological problem"
we attempted to introduce an original framework of ontological assumptions aimed
at the further - epistemological and ethical - exploration of the phenomenon of
individual's health. We name our ontological basis as a system of the "Absolute
Cosmist Wholism". Now, we necessarily remind some crucial principles of
this system: 1) principle of the particular role of the modern man in the cosmic
evolutionary process of the life on the Earth (CEPLE)
- 'contemporary civilised man is a
creator'; 2) principle of the unity of evolutionary levels - 'of
man's constant active creativity'; here we necessarily introduce two new
categories of man's creative being: of
adaptational creativity and creative
creativity; 3) principle of the cosmist functionalism - 'every
subject of the lower level is a specific function of the higher integrated level';
4) principle of personal functional elitism - 'the meaning of man's life is his/her ultimate personal specific (functional,
of elite selection) contribution to the wellbeing of whole Process (CEPLE)';
5) principle of subject's individual wellbeing - 'the
subject's wellbeing directly depends on the extent of one's belongingness and
integration into Process'.
From
this ontological basis clearly follows, that the meaningful valuable directivity
- 'route' - of the civilised man's life is cosmocentric and predetermined, as
well as it is naturally evolutionary embodied into the specific integrated
biological form (type) of human organism (with its positive biotypological
traits), precisely predisposed for the optimal execution of the inborn cosmic
function (assignment) of the man, settled in his/her given (psychological and
societal) circumstances of life. Here there is certainly the opportunity for
bringing together the biological constitutional bio-peculiarities of man's
organism with the personally gratifying execution of his/her specific (functional)
cosmic predetermined assignment (which solely could be perceivable and
realisable subjectively by man him/herself), and, thus, for the origination of a
new epistemological and ethical trend in biomedicine - of CosmoBiotypology.
This cosmist approach is able to form precisely the true humane line of biomedical evolution organised at the ultimate end of universal rational scientific comprehension of the personal wellbeing of man - of individual's health. Furthermore, CosmoBiotypology, being based on the cosmist dialectical approach and aimed at the object of individual's health, really possesses the potential to integrate subjective and objective knowledge, hence - the existing natural, social and human scientific knowledge, concerning man’s wellbeing; and thus to stop the old clash between scientism and humanism.
