Summary/Abstract: The outlooks of some physicists tend to subjectivism, and they are orientated towards the East Culture Model due to the peculiarity of the quantum mechanics laws. Here the author states her nonsubjectivistic position and suggests a gnoseological axiom, claiming that the consciousness organization allows an adequate knowledge of the reality. The author considers that a look to the ancient philosophy of India could be reasonable, however, in another aspect. Vedic conception about the structure of the universe and human is discussed. The idea of mater is extended and a concept „nonphysical mater“ is introduced. The human is considered as an entity of physical and nonphysical mater. Definitions of spirit and soul are given. Dualistic philosophical basis is suggested instead the philosophy of the materialistic monism. The author thinks that such a conceptual basis allows a legitime speaking and investigation of the paranormal phenomena, and could prompt new approaches in the science.
