Presidential Spokesperson İbrahim Kalın attended the Islamic Thought Institute (IDE) Spring Term “Our Vision of Knowledge: Yesterday and Today” opening conference, which was broadcast live via the video chat application “Zoom”.
IDE President Prof. Dr. Speaking about the metaverse universe at the conference attended by many guests as well as Mehmet Gormez, İbrahim Kalın continued his words by stating that virtual, augmented, mixed, augmented, alternative reality, all of these lead to the metaverse;
“While we have passed from the concept of a single world to the concept of an infinite universe with multiple worlds, now we are faced with another definition of reality, the metaverse. Here we are faced with a situation that we cannot dismiss as a virtual idea, mental, imaginary. How do we build the relationship between imagination, truth, reality, and knowledge in an age that will move beyond the metaverse and beyond? Is there any information that Islamic thought can offer on this subject? We need a higher metaphilosophy that will guide our journey of being and knowledge in the 21st century. Can we build a metaphilosophy to collect all these, what should be the new instruments for this? I want to pose that as a question as well.”
Emphasizing that concepts such as bold and metaverse are changing very quickly and that much more reading should be done in this area, he said;
“The pace of change has increased so much that we experience the changes that took place in a hundred years in the past in decades now, and the changes that took place in decades have become in a few years. These newly constructed concepts will become tools that increasingly shape our world. We need to think about these.”
