O “ Idealismo Monista" de Amit Goswani: Pressuposto para uma "ética quântica"

Abstract

This study has as its theme the monist idealism of Amit Goswami, who postulates Quantum Consciousness as a unifying principle and mediator of all reality in its various facets, manifest or potential. Concepts and experiments will be analyzed, elucidating the main theoretical elements for the realization of a Quantum Ethics. The research is justified by the fact that Quantum Physics is a theoretical foundation for many technological inventions and there are still no academic studies that show the ethical implications of this technically successful science. There are some researches in the humanities and philosophy that take Quantum Physics as a guiding theoretical matrix, however, they do not yet directly relate its principles to Ethics. Thus, the objective is to answer the question about the necessary assumption for the construction of a quantum ethics, based on Goswami's thought. The methodology used is a critical bibliographic analysis of the main works of the physicist Amit Goswami, being O universo autoconsciente (2003) the main one, for offering the basic theoretical elements for understanding the researched theme, because in other works, the author explores the fundamental concepts in it presented. Fragments of Plotinus' Aeneas will be used to construct an analogy, thus justifying the idealistic monism proposed here. Since the work traces the trajectory that makes Goswami lead to the theory of Monist Idealism, through the contradictory implications of the interpretation of Quantum Physics, when subsidized by the “materialist” principles. The concept of "quantum consciousness" will be worked on as the causal agent of its intrinsic possibilities with the "collapse of the wave function". It is hoped, as a result, to highlight a new perspective of research on Ethics from a systemic approach including in its theoretical framework dynamic and static elements enunciating the dialectic of human life in its relations.
