"CONSTRUCTIVE UNREALISM" or "PARADOX CONSTRUCTIVISM"
is a contemporary intellectual movement, art workshop, and creative community
founded in 2020 by Tibor Babos.
Central to Constructive Unrealism is a philosophical inquiry
captured by the motto: "All imaginable is real and not all realities are imaginable".
This movement ventures beyond the boundaries of the known into the realms of the unknown,
aiming to envision and bring into existence what has yet to be realized.
Its primary form of expression is the creative arts, drawing inspiration
from idealist, realist, constructivist, and minimalist traditions.
Tibor Babos — Founder, CONSTRUCTIVE UNREALISM
The philosophical essence of the statement "all imaginable is real" suggests that every product of human imagination holds a form of reality. Human endeavors and tangible creations—whether noble or malevolent—originate from the contemplation and realization of ideas. This concept underpins the emergence of spiritual movements, artistic masterpieces, scientific breakthroughs, and social constructs, as well as the darker aspects of secret sects, wars, and destruction. Constructive Unrealism meticulously investigates the origins of ideas, their paths, and their ultimate outcomes.
Conversely, the phrase "not all realities are imaginable" underscores the limitations of the human mind. Despite being part of the universe, the human intellect cannot fully comprehend its entirety or its myriad details. Our existence is marked by an inherent unknowability, constrained by both external and internal limitations that allow only fleeting and partial understandings. Paradoxically, the pursuit of greater knowledge always highlights the vast expanse of the unknown and the transient nature of our current insights. Constructive Unrealism is dedicated to exploring these enigmatic realms, continuously questioning established knowledge and seeking new evidence in all phenomena.
The credo of Constructive Unrealism is: "The discovery of the infinite unknown and the pursuit of infinite discovery."
The research focus of Constructive Unrealism encompasses fundamental questions that, while widely recognized, remain enigmatic, imprecisely defined, and elusive—even to science.
These include the nature of material, space, time, energy, force, and existence as physical concepts; life and humanity as biological concepts; and the soul, thought, action, and consequences as philosophical concepts.
Humanity still grapples with fundamental mysteries...
What is the origin and extent of material?
How was space created, what is its true nature, and how vast is it?
What exactly is time?
What is the source of energy, and how does it transform?
Where does force originate, and how does it behave?
What is the nature of existence, and where does it lead?
What does it mean to be human?
What is the soul?
How do thoughts arise, how do they become actions, and what are their consequences?
"There are two things we will never completely understand: the universe and ourselves. All attainable science lies between these two, and this is precisely why we cannot find complete peace in science. Every serious thought leads us to question the relationship of our object of inquiry to the whole and to ourselves, and thus all our science ends in doubt or faith."
József Eötvös (1813-1871)
Hungarian scientist
