Identity and Individuality of Derivative Fictions -- continued

This is because Peter Pan, who is both a personality, an idea, and an intraconscious phenomenon; and Neverland, which is both a mental image and an extradimensional space, are carefully manipulated and presented as metaphysical composite concepts that are closely related to the image-forming mental effects of subjective consciousness.
　At the period from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, preceding the publication of Einstein’s theory of relativity and Minkowski’s formulation of four-dimensional space-time, various presentation of ideological realism and ontology that were keenly conscious of the transcendence of the limit point of the Cartesian-Baconian understanding of events generation were made. James Clerk Maxwell was trying to construct a new physics theory to explain electromagnetic phenomena by introducing the concept of a field that was different from Newton’s model of the three-dimensional vacuum space. Ernst Mach attempted to grasp physical phenomena as thermal, electromagnetic and chemical processes in relation to the world of totality from the perspective that encompassed Newtonian dynamics, which described the nature of existence and phenomena based on the standard model of events in local chains of action. It is known that Mach’s ideas and research had a great influence on Einstein.(note)

note:
For more arguments on the influence of previous scientists and philosophers on Einstein’s theory of relativity and the speculative problematic nature of fictional descriptions represented by fantasy, please refer to “Quantum Logic, Paradox and Impossible Worlds: Actualism and Antifantasy”, included in the author’s study, Fantasy as AntiFantasy 2: The Study of The Last Unicorn, (Bokka-sha, 2009).

Furthermore, William James sought to achieve a grasp of phenomena that emphasizes the involvement of subjective consciousness in the manifestation of events by assuming the existence of a kind of “psychic” protoplasm, by considering psychological experience itself as the element of events from a perspective that is not bound by the conventional concept of “matter” as a unit that performs a mechanical chain of local actions. In addition, Alfred North Whitehead sought to construct a phenomenological ontology that seeks to consider the events that occur themselves as the basic reality of the world in place of the material particles, which had been understood as the basic unit of mechanical action. One is able to point out that a psychological cosmic formula that seems to underlie the interests of these scientists and philosophers is projected onto the various scenes and descriptions of Peter and Wendy.(note)

note:
Arguments on Peter and Wendy, relating to the world formula and psychic phases based on quantum logics are developed from various angles in the author’s study Fantasy as Antifantasy, (Kindai-Bungeisha, 2005).
