Crisis of scientific knowledge. A physicist's perspective.

Modern science at the beginning of the 21st century has encountered the problem that truth, as a representation of reality, inevitably turns out to be multivariate and contradictory in scientific knowledge. The reason for this is the non-universality and anthropomorphism of the science created by humanity, as the form of human thinking that evolved through judgments is specific and therefore inherently inadequate in reflecting reality. Structure is apparently the only thing available for study within scientific knowledge. Indeed, modern physics presents matter as a hierarchy of structures, and even mass is a structure. Life can also be characterized as a self-reproducing structure. In the humanities, structure - social relations - is the most conservative and defines the social system as such. Therefore, the concept of structuralism, which developed in the early 20th century in relation to a number of humanities disciplines, aims to become a general methodology of modern science, including natural sciences. The key position is the recognition of the self-sufficiency of structure from the perspective of not only epistemology but also ontology. In particular, this implies that structures can exist without a carrier and correlate with each other. The book mainly analyzes the example of mathematics and theoretical physics as the most fundamental branches of science, but also touches on economics. The book is intended for a wide range of readers interested in the problems of modern science.
