Limit Of Inquiry
In
philosophy of science
and
philosophy
in general, the
limit of inquiry
is the limits of human ability to inquire and answer questions about phenomena. In the
20th century
several of these were well-documented or proposed in
physics
:
The
Planck length
- actually a limit on
distance
itself.
The
Schrdinger's cat
paradox
.
The
Heisenberg
uncertainty principle
.
The theorized
event horizon
of a
black hole
in
special relativity
.
The
incompleteness theorem
which limits the
consistency
or
completeness
of
symbol systems
is a related concern of the
philosophy of mathematics
. It does not directly relate to
inquiry
, however, only to
proof
. There are also limits to inquiry from
ethics
, notably in
medicine
and
biology
, and from
uniqueness
, notably in
ecology
and
psychology
. Concepts of
truth
have been profoundly shaped by realizing that truth must conform to these limits, beyond which any concept of truth is just speculation.
