metadata.value: The paper attempts to reveal and identify a prerequisite for answering the two fundamental questions
  of philosophy: that of being and that of truth. This precondition is viewed as a problem of demarcation
  between evidence and construct, which is achieved in the process of doubting the being of an existent
  or in intuitive experiencing the former. This brings about evident (truthful) statements about this being
  and this existent, on the basis of which there are constructed (hypostatized) other forms of the existent.
  Despite the fact that construct and evidence cannot be separated and do form a specific antinomy in
  themselves, there is a way of building a scale for founding the distinction modification, whose ends
  shall be occupied by ideal types, while the centre is given to the actual status quo. This status quo is
  represented by four synthetic types of being. Our understanding of being as a relation between the
  subject and the object, each and every agent of which can be experienced with enough evidence and be
  constructed at the same time, leads us to shaping a regional ontology that encompasses both subjective forms (evidence of man and a construct of the society) and objective forms (evidence of nature and a
  construct of the culture) of being.
  Directness and certainty are the two key properties of evidence, whereas a breakup with them is
  the characteristic of a construct whose goal it is to achieve practical solution of theoretical problems.
  Constructs are the essential historical forms of culture such as reflection on being in the form of
  values, theories and imagery; and also its transformation in the course of practical activity. A special
  place in this praxis is given to a synthesis of reflection and transformation; i.e. performance that claims
  to be able to create a simulated being that is more real than reality. Human history is the story of how
  we rejected evidence in favour of constructs. This rejection, however, is at the same time rejection of
  genuine human properties in favour of ephemeral ones. The goal of modern philosophy is interpreted
  as that of freeing or clearing evidence from construct. Refs 12.
