The modern worldview system is based on the fallacies of the past.
“The modern worldview system is based on the fallacies of the past” - under this phrase can hide a lot of semantic decoding, among which there can be diametrically opposed.
But what did I really mean when I put this phrase into the headline? I write about it below.
Of course, we are not adherents of the delusions of the ancients. We are sure that the Earth does not stand on three pillars. The school teaches that it has the shape of a ball ... But the very question of what form the Earth is discursive and carries the experience of past metaphysical systems of the universe.
And the question of what being or consciousness is primary follows from the question of the ancients and the doctrine of the primary substance. Someone from the Greeks believed that the root cause of everything was fire, someone considered the original water, arguing that everyone had come out of the water. Now this question itself seems ridiculous to us. Humanity did not answer the question about the original substance, just this question has ceased to be relevant. Now we are interested in answers to other questions, but will they not seem ridiculous in a few generations?
The stages that the human perception of the world took in their development are similar to evolution. Exactly as a human embryo goes through the stages that nature has gone through over a billion years of evolution, so the world view of one person goes from a state of wildness and waking life, when a person does not identify himself as a person, through the classical philosophy of the ancient Greeks to modern postmodernism, and in my opinion, it is impossible to understand and accept modern “ideology” without letting in through itself “ancient” philosophical errors, such as dialectics or hermeneutics ...

But let's imagine another way for a second, suppose if Achilles nevertheless caught up with the tortoise, and the paradoxes of Zeno were resolved "ahead of time", would we not have other questions, but not those with which we are now?
The modern worldview system is based on the fallacies of the past. But this does not mean that the answers to fundamental questions contain imprints of these errors. It’s just that the questions we raise for ourselves are the crux of the past. And most of these questions do not have a clear answer, as it is incorrectly stated.
