I am particularly interested in the fields of epistemology, logic, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of language. By using tools from these disciplines I attempt to revise the current scientific method, particularly in the field of physics.
The main goal of my research is to reshape the scientific activity in order to better respond to the growing needs in technology for efficient, and syntactically simple models. The secret of reducing the complexity of formal models lies, in my opinion, in using the appropriate type of ontology, metaphysics, and logic for the physical object under study and for the intended use of these models. This suggests that in order to reach the above mentioned goal we must adopt a pragmatic attitude toward ontology, metaphysics, and logic. And we shall see that this attitude comes naturally when we try to understand scientific knowledge from an evolutionary perspective.
My first hypothesis is that the form of language-based knowledge is relative to a point of view. Yes, this is ontological and metaphysical relativism, and I will take it very far, where few dared to venture. This first hypothesis is based on the observation of degeneracy of representational systems, where knowledge is under-determined by experience, and is not hard-linked to the success of our actions. I will develop the consequences of this hypothesis and prove its fertility in science and technology.
