Tytuł referatu: Two Paradigms in Present-Day Physics: ‘Particle – Wave – Dualism’ Firmly Enthroned and ‘Space as a Positional Quality’ Firmly Dismissed.

Abstract

This paper suggests that the particle – wave dualism should be dismissed and the view ‘space as a positional quality’ enthroned. The basis of discussing the two present-day paradigms is pre-scientific experience, and the reasons for the reversal of the present situation are taken from pre-scientific experience, too.

More specifically, reasons are offered that neither the particle – wave dualism nor the view of space as a container is grounded on pre-scientific experience. Thereafter, reasons are offered to install a hylomorphic-type dualism realized in elementary particles, together with the view of space as a positional quality of them. This positional quality is dynamic and connected to the dualist constitution of elementary particles.
