Mesons: ontologia

Abstract

The work hereby presented is titled Mesons. It purports to describe and lay the foundations for a new theory, mesology, a general theory of media [mesons] and mediations, an ontology of media, one could say, the purpose of which is to furnish conceptual parameters for the understanding of highly heterogeneous phenomena, be they of a cultural or natural order, or of a physical or metaphysical one. Such scope is possible because mesology is buttressed by cosmological and ontological foundational principles. In this sense, one of the basic principles around which the theory of mesons is articulated is the binomial finite-infinite, understood from the standpoint of ontology and cosmology. Thus is this dissertation subtitled Ontology, for it seeks to outline the elementary meta-theoretical premises of this theory. This work is therefore eminently meta-empirical, in that both its material and formal objects coincide in one selfsame conceptual object: the epistemological demarcation of the concept of mesons, as well as the exploration of diverse phenomena that mesology could be used to describe and assemble [agencement]. Proceeding from this primary core that defines the ontology of mesons, another series of concepts unfolds, concepts central to the understanding of mesology as a whole: mesons, media, being, life, sapiens, ontology, cosmology, infinite, finite, heterarchy, heterogenesis, anthropy, anthropophany, anthropogemes, transhuman, holography, hologram, mereography, mereogram, pluriontologies, transference, animism, imaginal, tempest, among others. It has obviously not been possible to analyze and develop all such concepts in this work. If I have failed to do so, it is also because I imagine this work, dedicated to an outline of the being of mesons, that is, to the ontology of media, as the first volume of a larger, multi-volume project, titled Mesons, which will engage other concepts and notions such as cosmos, life and form, in their properly mesological determinations and specificities.
