Authors: Oleksandr Habovych, Volodymyr Kuznietsov

Summary: The book presents an original and generalizing substantive vision of the philosophy of science through the prism of a detailed analysis of the polysystem structure of scientific theories. Theories are considered, firstly, as complex specialized forms of developed scientific thinking about the realities studied by natural science, secondly, as constantly improving tools for the production of new knowledge in interaction with experimental research, and thirdly, as carriers of ordered and verified knowledge. Emphasis is placed on their nominal and ontic subsystems. The book develops personal and joint research of the authors (theoretical physicist and philosopher), experience of teaching philosophy of physics at NaUKMA, philosophy of science at the Higher School of Philosophy at the H. Skovoroda Institute of Philosophy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and theoretical physics at the National Technical University «Ihor Sikorskyi Kyiv Polytechnic Institute ». The research is based on a large source base covering works of modern Western researchers in the field of natural science and philosophy of science.

Reading audience: For students, teachers and scientists who are interested in the problems of modern philosophy of science and have a certain amount of scientific knowledge. It will also be useful for high school students who are eager to become scientists.
