metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The subject of the article is the process of forming ideas about the world as reality, which
  is most accurately described by the word “invention”. The author, relying on classical texts
  in this respect (E. Husserl, M. Heidegger) and modern studies (A. Makushinsky, J.-F. Kurtin)
  substantiates the position according to which the idea of reality is not a cultural invariant. The
  notion that reality has always existed, and thanks to scientific reason has been most adequately
  reflected, understood and described, is a significant modernization. This has been evidenced
  by both the etymology of the concepts of “reality” and “reality”, which first appeared only in
  scholasticism (D. Scotus, M. Eckhart), and the process of their content filling, which is inextricably
  linked with the formation of scientific rationality. The article shows that both the scientific
  mind and the integral image of the world created by it, which we call reality, genetically
  date back to the Christian value-semantic universe. Initially, it was within the framework of
  the discourse of natural theology that the image of the autonomous world has been conceptualized,
  developing according to the universal principles established by God. In the first scientific
  programs (R. Descartes, G. Galilei, I. Newton), these ideas were continued, as a result of
  which the world began to be understood as an immanent reality that is subject to the laws of
  nature. The new ontological beliefs received the ultimate philosophical foundation in the philosophy
  of Immanuel Kant, to whom the phenomenal world exhausts the reality available to
  man. Accordingly, the world turns into a one-dimensional detranscendentalized reality. This
  methodological approach allows the author to make the following conclusions: 1) the image of
  world “reality” is a rather modern “invention”, which was unknown in previous eras; 2) at the
  same time, it is genetically connected with the Christian semantic universe, outside of which
  it could not appear; 3) the world in it is understood as a one-dimensional immanent reality.
