Introduction to Contextivism: A New Cosmology and Worldview
(September 2026) This page provides an introduction and background information regarding the new cosmology and worldview called Contextivism. Contextivism explains the essence of all forms of existence—including matter, living beings (humans), concepts (thoughts), stars, and the universe itself. It is poised to bring about a shift in humanity's common sense and worldview that surpasses the impact of the Copernican heliocentric theory and Darwin's theory of evolution. # What Contextivism Reveals and Explains - "The object is there", "the object moves", it is clearly revealed that this is a problem containing an immense metaphysical secret. - It demonstrates that humanity’s common sense and everyday perception—that the world and things simply exist objectively— is nothing more than an instinctive, practical belief akin to the geocentric model. (Realism is not about truth but about practicality.) - It also makes explicit that science rests on fundamental assumptions of belief, clarifying the nature of those assumptions as well as the limits and role of science. - It demonstrates that all disciplines—including mathematics, science, and philosophy— share the same essence and operate according to the same principle. - It establishes that modern physics—including the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics— misinterprets nature through a realist lens and actually belongs to the realm of practical technology. - It clearly states that humanities and sociology also have major problems in understanding humans and society because there is no alternative to realist premises (common sense). - It presents an integrated worldview in which social phenomena— such as human relationships and relations between nations—operate on the exact same principles as chemical reactions. - It explains all material phenomena, from atoms to galaxies, through a single, unified principle. - It explains all conceptual entities—such as thoughts, language (texts), and numbers—using that same principle. - It offers important clues regarding the nature of the human self and the subject of religion. Contextivism elucidates the essence of existence through a "meta-insight" that transcends the boundaries of conventional reason and academic scholarship. Consequently, the validity of these insights and explanations cannot be judged simply by comparing them against existing academic knowledge. If one were to seek a relevant academic field, it would be the branch of philosophy known as metaphysics; however, metaphysics is a domain that often causes confusion, as even the philosophical community itself lacks a clear understanding of its true nature. Scientific discoveries and knowledge appear to be empirically certain. However, examining the nature of experience itself and determining whether human experience and reason can be truly trusted falls within the realm of metaphysics—a field fraught with extremely difficult problems. Metaphysical inquiry intensified within Western philosophy as the shock of the heliocentric theory cast doubt on the established sense of reality. Consequently, various metaphysical arguments emerged, with the metaphysics of German Idealism gaining significant influence. However, Idealism—which took the consciousness as its foundation—was severely shaken by the impact of the theory of evolution; furthermore, with the advancement of sciences such as psychology and medicine, it was relegated to the status of an outdated philosophy. With the advent of the scientific age in the 20th century, a sentiment took hold in Anglo-American philosophy that metaphysical inquiry was meaningless and that the nature of existence should be left to scientific investigation. Even renowned philosophers like Wittgenstein argued throughout their lives that metaphysics was merely "wordplay" and should be eliminated from philosophy. Yet, it was later revealed that even arguments opposing metaphysics rested on metaphysical premises. Because metaphysics addresses the most fundamental questions of human thought, grasping its essence is tantamount to approaching the very nature of the universe and existence. / Contextivism elucidates the essence of metaphysics and explains the principles of existence for all things; it is a framework applicable to every conceivable domain. There may be a preconceived notion that this is merely abstract speculation adorned with complex philosophical concepts like idealism. Yet in fact, it is a logical and rational explanation of the essence of the universe expressed in plain language. Furthermore, Contextivism clearly defines the nature of science itself; it demonstrates that modern physics had been stumbling in the dark and falling into traps because it lacked a full understanding of both human thought and the true nature of the natural world. Since the time of Newton, physics had focused on phenomena that were empirically certain, remaining largely detached from philosophy. In the early 20th century, physics began to deal with areas that were not clearly defined through sensory experience, and eventually entered into the metaphysical realm related to the essence of matter." Consequently, scientists attempting to explain the essence of matter through abstract mathematical models found themselves lost in a fog, unable to discern the true nature of reality. Yet, because mathematical models like quantum mechanics yielded accurate calculations and practical utility, an implicit consensus emerged: even without understanding the fundamental nature of the quantum world, one should simply continue to harness quantum properties. To use an analogy: since a mathematical net could successfully catch vast quantities of anchovies (quanta) from the sea, the prevailing attitude was to avoid questioning the true nature of the ocean itself. Contextivism clearly identifies where modern physics—such as the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics— lost its way and where it fell into error, offering the necessary corrections. / We live in an age of scientism, where most people believe that science is revealing the truth of the universe. However, greater material prosperity is not proof that we have moved any closer to the truth. The notion that science is uncovering the truth of the universe is merely a vague public belief— a psychological state akin to the faith medieval Europeans placed in the Church. It is fundamentally impossible to grasp the essence of a system while remaining within that closed system. This follows the same principle by which an insect or animal born in a confined environment cannot comprehend the essence of the system it inhabits or the world outside it. If one remains trapped in a game for so long that the world outside is forgotten, no amount of rational, scientific analysis of the game's maps and items will reveal the game's true nature. Therefore, the truth of the universe and the world can only be accessed from a meta-level perspective. While various religions have sought to explain this truth, high-level truths inevitably rely heavily on symbols and metaphors, making them difficult for the general public to grasp. Contextivism can be seen as an approach that popularizes these profound religious insights and explanations, presenting them in a way that resonates with modern sensibilities. / Individuals with a high level of intellect and consciousness will better grasp the profound significance and civilizational impact of Contextivism. Clergy and dedicated practitioners of Eastern religions will immediately recognize Contextivism as a modern explanation of the sophisticated cosmologies found in their traditions. Those with extensive knowledge and deep understanding of Eastern religions and Western mysticism will also find considerable resonance with Contextivism. Even without prior knowledge of Eastern religions or mysticism, intellectuals well-versed in both philosophy and science—such as Descartes, Leibniz, or Kant—would likely show great interest in Contextivism. It is evident that Contextivism is poised to transform the worldview of future humanity even more radically than the heliocentric theory or the theory of evolution did. Human consciousness will shift from a perspective based on simple, common-sense realism to one that understands the world contextually; this transition can be likened to the shift from the era of oil lamps to the electric age, or from the age of horse-drawn carriages to the age of aviation. While the arrival of the electric and aviation ages was aided by the efforts of pioneers, the fundamental cause was the changing of the times. Just as the world transforms with the changing seasons, there exists something akin to a "cosmic season." As the era shifts once again, human consciousness is gradually evolving, and Contextivism has emerged in alignment with this transformation. ------------------ The author had long studied Eastern religions and their practices and maintained a certain interest in global scientific and technological trends. Ultimately, this unique outcome emerged from a position straddling the boundary between the religious realm and secular scholarship. Interestingly, Copernicus was a quasi-cleric and independent scholar, and Darwin, too, was an independent scholar who had studied theology. It can be said that the commonality lies in the unique perspective of those outside the existing system. The process leading to Contextivism is as follows: April 2023: Presented a concise argument demonstrating the error of the Special Theory of Relativity through the groundbreaking concept of the "Stationary Earth theory". May 2025: Released 'Integrated Constructivism,' which posits that the world is constructed. October 2025: Distributed a document detailing errors in the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics through the lens of "Context Theory." May 2026: Released 'Contextual Ontology and Systemic Poietism.' September 2026: A revised edition of Contextivism, featuring enhanced mass appeal, has been officially released on the webpage. ----------------- If a large number of people quickly emerge who are interested in carrying forward and developing "Contextivism"—a new worldview for humanity that reveals the truth of the universe— the pace of global change will accelerate. Anyone is free to quote or use the Contextivism documents in academic papers, blogs, books, and other media. Partial citation, full publication, and summary publication of the Contextivism document are permitted, provided that the source (author, link to original text,) is cited. / However, just as with religious scriptures or computers, the extent to which one understands and utilizes them depends on the individual's level of insight. Given the diversity of human perspectives, some approach religion merely as a means of seeking worldly blessings, while others understand it on a profound, elevated level. Similarly, the understanding of Contextivism among intellectuals will likely follow a distribution curve, and we can look forward to pioneering contributions from those at the leading edge of that spectrum. The logical first step is for scholars to begin by presenting reinterpretations of theories within their respective fields through the lens of the Contextivism worldview. Since the issues surrounding the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics have already been adequately explained and rectified through Contextivism, physicists and philosophers of science are well-positioned to voice their views by drawing upon their specialized knowledge. Furthermore, the physics community faces numerous future tasks, as the field must move beyond realism and re-establish its foundational theories based on a contextual worldview. While pragmatic research grounded in realism remains necessary, there is a need to redefine the very essence of science as a discipline and to bring about a revolutionary shift in foundational theories. The humanities and social sciences must also undergo fundamental change; scholars who possess a solid understanding of Contextivism will be able to propose reformative theories within their respective fields. As there are significant implications for the study of religion as well, related research and conceptual development are expected to follow. Experts can leverage their specialized knowledge to propose the reforms and revolutions needed— within existing theories and institutions—to align with the Contextivist worldview. (Blogs, preprints, formal academic papers, books, workshops, lectures, seminars, symposiums, etc.) / However, while Contextivism is deeply linked to metaphysical philosophy, academic philosophy has been in decline since the early 20th century and is now little more than an empty shell. Consequently, it has become a closed circle for scholars preoccupied solely with the history of philosophy and linguistic issues—a field largely ignored by both intellectuals and the general public. Thus, it is difficult to properly address contextivism within the already moribund discipline of philosophy. Moreover, because contextivism dismantles the Western tradition of realism—which has spanned millennia— Western philosophy is destined to vanish, much like the geocosmocentric astronomy of the past, giving way to a new form of scholarship. One possibility is the emergence of a new academic field—tentatively named "Contextology"—that synthesizes knowledge and wisdom from logic (reason), science, and religion to serve as a foundation for all other disciplines. Naturally, this new field would involve experts from diverse disciplines—such as philosophers, scientists, and scholars of religion—who possess the high level of consciousness required to truly grasp contextivism. ------------------ In human history, there are many masterpieces in artworks, inventions, and documents (theories), but all of them are products of their historical, social, and contextual circumstances. It is, in principle, impossible for an individual to create something entirely in isolation. Just as a flower blooms as a product of seasonal context, all human creations are also contextual products. Of course, the individual characteristics and efforts of plants and humans are also included in and acknowledged as part of that context. Therefore, the emergence of Contextivism itself is also a product of historical and social context. / Please contact the author if any of the following apply: email: cntsmgnsis (at) outlook.com - When inquiries, consultations, or reviews are needed in the process of designing a new academic theory based on the worldview of Contextivism within a specialized field, or when presenting such a theory." - If you have an intention to professionally research, build upon, and further develop Contextivism. - If a Contextivism research institute has been established at any university worldwide. - Inquiries, ideas, support, etc. related to Contextivism.
