| description | In this paper, I focus on the analysis of the concept of the mathematicity of the Universe developed by Heller and his colleagues from the Kraków School of Philosophy in Science [KSPS]. For the representatives of this School, the mathematicity of nature was one of the most frequently discussed issues. Based on these philosophical discussions, several proposals were formulated with clear theological references, and these also constitute an area for a broader discussion at the interface between science and religion. From a philosophical point of view, the question of the mathematicity of nature remains an open metaphysical problem. The image of the world formulated on the basis of this idea can be an inspiration for theologians seeking common ground with the sciences. An example of this are the views of Heller himself and some representatives of the KSPS, which are analyzed in this paper, taking into account critical positions and indicating possible research perspectives. |
