ONTOLOGICAL AND EPISTEMOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS OF DENYING THE PRINCIPLES OF BEING AND THINKING IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLDVIEW

Summary/Abstract: One of the significant factors enabling the development of sciences was the conceptualization of fundamental principles of being and thinking, which was already achieved in ancient times. The principles of identity, non-contradiction,excluded middle, and causality became the foundations of emerging naturalsciences in the 17th century. Simultaneously, in modern philosophy, theybecame the subject of critical analysis, resulting in their gradual rejection.Consequently, the concepts of being and knowledge were deprived of last-ing foundations. This made it impossible to meaningfully legitimize conceptssuch as truth, goodness, and beauty. As a result, skepticism and relativismdestabilize the contemporary worldview. If we aim for a stable worldview,we should treat the principles of being and thinking as rules for verifying andfalsifying our beliefs.
