The Problem of Reality in Contemporary Natural Science. Range of approaches
In the book "The Problem of Reality in Contemporary Natural Science" a number of original domestic variants of realism in science and mathematics is presented. They are preceded by qualitative surveys of the problem in the world philosophical literature. There is a number of themes presented in the Collection: the place of mathematics in physics, structural realism, equivalent descriptions, problems of understanding of quantum mechanics and the reality behind it, the question of the reality behind the mathematics and such "intermediate" areas like the theory of oscillations, synergetics, cybernetics and systems theory. The purpose of this article is, on the one hand, to give an overview of these topics, using the materials of the Collection, and, on the other (the second part of the relevant paragraphs) to describe the submitted private author’s positions and give their critics. Naturally, the latter cannot claim to be completely objective, since it doesn’t exist. The submitted criticism is made mainly from the “object approach” developed by the author.
