Biocosmological Triadic approach in the study of the mind

   Biocosmological Triadic approach is put forward as the useful means in the area of comparative study in mind. This approach is based on the restoration (return) to the original sense of the notion “cosmology” and rehabilitation of the genuine meaning (comprehension and use) of Aristotle’s philosophy. A key point is that the Aristotelian philosophical system has the Organicist essence – it is based on its own (Bio)cosmology. In turn, the proposed Biocosmological approach has the neo-Aristotelian essence. The formula of a Biocosmological study (as it was elaborated during the First International seminar on Biocosmology, in Veliky Novgorod, July 2010) is “Bio-3/4”. “Bio” means that Biocosmology uses the universal Organicist relation to the world – the position “within” the one whole organic Cosmos. “3” and “4” mean the universal Triadic (Three-dimensional) approach and the Four-causal (truly Aristotelian) aetiology – of the equal significance of all four main cosmic causes: material, formative, efficient and telic or final (but with the leading role of the latter).

   In the presentation, a comparative analysis of the three Biocosmological spheres (AntiCosmist, ACosmist and RealCosmist, and their produced methodological and practical approaches) is realized. The latter (RealCosmist or BioCosmological) characteristics include the analysis of the achievements of Russian neurophysiologists and psychologists (I.M. Sechenov, I.P. Pavlov, A.A. Ukhtomsky, P.K. Anokhin, P.V. Simonov and other). Their achievements might be integrated into the notion “the school of Russian or Cosmist functionalism”. Therefore, understanding of the human mind ought to be realized at least from the three equal and independent cosmological (aetiological, methodological) foundations.
