Abstract
The civilization that has conquered the modern world is technological.It displaces all living things from the world and replaces them with artificial ones.The attempt to cognize the world with the help of the prevailing scientific method leads to the emergence of more and more new problems, the resolution of which leads to the emergence of new problems, etc.Western scientism is slipping, according to P. Feyerabend's definition, to outright "raciofascism."Morality is giving way to rationalism and the criterion of benefit.According to Konrad Lenz, one of the greatest biologists of our time, the question of morality arises only if the object of study is a living thing.A thorough study of the structure of the body will never create an image of a living person.For some approximation to the truth it is necessary to study his emotions, desires, thoughts, i.e. his soul, his spiritual state.Apparently, we should do the same when studying Nature, if it is alive.The assumption made in this work about the complex nature of all physical quantities can become a bridge between the rationalism, reigning now in science, and panpsychism, the ancient notion of reasonableness and spirituality of Nature.Apparently, it is time to recognize that Nature is not dead, but alive.A new look at the nature of complex numbers, perhaps, will lead to a new toolkit for studying Nature.
