Abstract

This essay offers a view of human knowledge and society within the framework of universal dynamism postulated by Quantum Mechanics. It begins with the interaction that each human being has with the world around them through their knowledge and action. We analyze the relationship of human beings as communication to establish a generalized vision of their reality and collaborate with each other to achieve their own good. We identify scientific and technological knowledge as a factor that imparts new characteristics to universal dynamism. Adopting the Quantum Mechanics paradigm and based on Alfred North Whitehead's Philosophy of Organism, we highlight the consciously creative role of the rational knower, capable of directing the universal dynamism that begins in education, as a central part of Society.
