Principle of uncertainty in the knowledge of nature

Boris Medvedev, Saratov State University

Abstract

The report is devoted to the metaphysical and philosophical sources of uncertainty in the knowledge of nature from the apeyron of Anaximander to the notions "On scientific ignorance" by N. Kuzansky and the structure of metalogical being in the cognition of S. L. Frank. The principle of uncertainty of cognition is formulated as a ratio of uncertainties between essence and existence, being a reflection of both the ideas and principles of N. Kuzansky and G. Leibniz, and the indeterminism of physics of the micro and mega world.
