Abstract

Philosophical and methodological criteria based on which it is possible make the conclusion about the degree of "jointness" of physical theory are given. For the analysis, the theory of superstring is selected. In this regard, the history of the theory of superstring and the theory of supersymmetry (SUSY) is briefly considered. The main philosophical problems of the theory are shown. Based on the cited philosophical and methodological criteria the author concludes that string theory is not the final theory of unification of fundamental interactions in physics.
