The principle of determinism as the ideal of science

The article deals with the principle of determinism. Substantiates its universal character. This article contains criticism of the philosophy of constructivism. Search for causes is an important feature of scientific research.

Key words: reason, determinism, constructivism, probability.

Modern science is guided by three basic principles in knowledge: the principle of determinism, the correspondence principle and the principle of complementarities. The principle of determinism has a long history, although it has undergone at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. significant changes and additions to its interpretation. The principles of complementarity and compliance were formulated at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. in connection with the development of new directions in physics – the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, etc., and that, among other factors, led to escalation of classical science XVIII-XIX centuries. in modern science [1].

Determinism – the doctrine of universal conditionality objective phenomena. The basis of this view of the world is a universal relationship of all phenomena, which, on the one hand, is a manifestation of the unity of the world and the way of its implementation, and on the other – a consequence and a prerequisite for the development of a universal character. The existence of a general universal relationship of all phenomena and is the starting premise of the principle of determinism [2; 3]. Determinism is the general doctrine that recognizes the existence of a universal relationship and denying the existence of any phenomena and things outside of this universal relationship. However, the content of the principle of determinism is not limited to this.

The principle of determinism, as a general scientific and organizes knowledge in the construction of concrete sciences. Determinism acts primarily in the form of causality as a set of circumstances that precede in time an event and call it, that is, there is a connection between the phenomena and processes as a single phenomenon, a process (cause), under certain conditions with the necessity breeds, produces another phenomenon process (consequence). Ontological basis of the principle of determinism is the practical activity of man [4].

The disadvantage of classical determinism was that it was limited to a single efficient cause, interpreted purely mechanistic: the objective nature of chance was denied, due probabilistic determinism displayed outside and opposed to the material determination of phenomena. Classic determinism does not take into account the fact that the causes are always a few, and does not take into account the effect of other factors is incomplete knowledge of the study [5, р. 4-5].

Modern understanding of the principle of determinism implies the existence of various forms of objectively existing relationship phenomena, many of which are expressed as a ratio, with no direct causal nature, that is not explicitly contain the time of generation of one another. These include spatial and temporal correlation, etc. functional dependencies Including modern science, as opposed to the determinism of classical science, particularly important are the uncertainty relation formulated in terms of statistical laws, or the ratio of fuzzy sets, or the ratio of interval values.

The important question of philosophical determinism is the issue of the cognitive status of the accident categories. The problem is as follows. If we take the principle of causality, and the casual relationships should be regarded as causation. Consequently, the accident also needed and objective opposition between necessity and chance does not make sense. Ultimately it leads to fatalism, which is known in religious philosophy as a problem of predestination.  In our opinion, the reason is always there, but people are not able to know all the reasons. And that was unexpected due to his ignorance of the reasons people are treated as an accident. The problems of cognition of objective reasons gave rise to the philosophy of the concept of constructivism, whose supporters (Kant, Hume et al.) Had a causal relationship in the sphere of consciousness, offering to consider it as a following of some mental processes (thoughts, images, feelings) of the other [6].

Different concepts of determinism a central place occupied by the category of necessity and chance. Necessity – is what follows from the very nature of material systems, processes, and events that must take place in the main just so and not otherwise. Accident - what is the basis and the reason is not primarily in itself, and the other that does not derive from the major connections and relationships, but from the side that may or may not be.
