Abstract

The article discusses the meaning of the concept of ontological proposition. Unlike the categories of being, matter, essence, and ontology, this concept, although is being discussed, still remains on the periphery of philosophical knowledge. The author proposes to consider the ontological proposition in its logical development: what is the proposition, how it develops through principles, logical procedures and the system of concepts. He analyzes precedents of generating various worlds through ontological propositions. The paper gives an overview of different ontological propositions, namely a religious one, those of natural science and mental activity, a phenomenological proposition, linguistic and technical ones. The author believes that ontological propositions play a key role in solving the question of the role of the future of various sciences and the development of new scientific subjects. The article proposes to link prospects for the development of sciences and scientific subjects to ontological propositions.
