How did Apollinari's dialectical method shape his work?
My approach is inherently dialectical. I see deep tensions in fundamental questions, such as the dichotomy between objective reality and our subjective experience of it. I begin by confronting these opposing viewpoints—say, the mechanistic view versus the emergent properties of complex systems. Through rigorous analysis, I seek to synthesize these seemingly contradictory ideas into a more comprehensive framework that acknowledges the validity of both initial positions while transcending their limitations. This synthetic step is crucial for advancing our understanding, particularly in areas like quantum mechanics.
