Noam Chomsky discusses how the "mechanical philosophy" that originated in the 17th century with thinkers like Galileo, Descartes and Newton viewed the universe as a grand machine that could in principle be understood through science. However, Newton's discovery of gravity, which involved "action at a distance" rather than direct physical contact, undermined this mechanical view. REST IN PEACE Dr. WALID SABA. Goodbye dear friend :( Full title: The Ghost in the Machine and the Limits of Human Understanding. Please support us: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mlst Professor Noam Chomsky is the most significant thinker of our generation. Chomsky argues that since Newton, the goal of science has become more modest - rather than trying to understand the true nature of the universe, which may be beyond human comprehension, science aims to construct abstract models that are intelligible to us, even if the underlying reality remains a mystery. He suggests there may be inherent biological limits to human understanding, just as other animals have limits to their cognitive capacities. The upshot is that we shouldn't necessarily expect a complete unification of scientific knowledge or for complex phenomena like mind and language to be fully explainable in terms of physics. Chomsky provocatively states that after Newton "exorcised the machine" by showing the mechanical philosophy was untenable, only the "ghost" of intelligibility was left in science, which now relies on human-constructed models rather than grasping the true essence of nature. Achieving a direct, intuitive understanding - "exorcising the ghost" - may simply lie beyond the cognitive horizons of the human species.
