Apofatyzm filozoficzny a Michała Hellera idea matematyczności przyrody
Philosophical Apophatism and Michał Heller’s Idea of Mathematicity of the Universe

Summary/Abstract: Starting with the systematization of Michael Heller’s thesis of the mathematicity of the Universe, the inquiry carried out in this article will be devoted to the presentation and the critical analysis of why the category theory can be designated as the most suitable mathematical environment to articulate this thesis. The key task will be to show what motivates Heller to introduce an ontologically pregnant concept of the field of categories and to equate it with the field of rationality. Finally, it will become more transparent in what sense Heller utilizes the concept of the philosophical apophatism in the context of the formalized physical theories. Heller shares his apophatic attitude with such prominent figures of the theoretical physics as Albert Einstein and Roger Penrose: physics does not say what reality is but it places a physicist on the road to reality.
