Cosmopolitical problems faced with the physical-mathematical order

Abstract

The present article inquires on certain cosmopolitical problems raised after the Scientific Revolution. We will start studying the possible links between the liberalism and the Newtonian universe rationalities, and then we will focus on the Newtonian physicalmathematical cosmology’s diversions over the modern judicial-political order. This, in order to point out some fundamental moments which have been forcing —ever since the 18th Century— Newtonian cosmology to readjust and develop new tools within, which evolves in several political implications which will also be explored. Amongst these implications, special attention will be paid to the link between these events, the alterations in modern science and the development in the technical-scientific order, all of which will be used by the governmental practices and will singularly affect the statute of the political subject. Subsequently the article will focus more precisely on the utilization of calculus, statistics and probability, and how these uses affect the significance of contemporary politics. Finally, an exploration is disclosed, on the possibility of a cosmopolitics that could go beyond the diversions that Newtonian physical-mathematics rationality has undergone.
