METAPHYSICS: HEURISTIC PROGRAMS AND PRINCIPLES OF SCIENCE

V.A. Iakovlev
Keywords: metaphysics, existence, creative things, principles, oppositions, innovations, program

Abstract

The paper briefly considers the history of the problem of metaphysics of existence of nature and human. The author analyzes its current state in philosophical, religious and natural-scientific contexts. He gives proof of the definition of metaphysics as a kernel of spiritual theoretic activity, i.e. a set of eidetic creative tings which form the basis structure of scientific research programs. He also marks out seven antique binary metaphysical programs which were mutually complementary; further these programs determined guidelines of scientific activities.
