Региональные онтологии и междисциплинарный синтез
The idea of Edmund Husserl about regional ontologies is taken as a basis and is used for the interdisciplinary synthesis of several subject areas dealing with the development of problems lying at the junction of these areas. The simulation hypothesis and the related concept of virtual reality and the concept of multiple worlds are analyzed. It is shown that the hypothesis can be adequately and effectively considered only with the involvement of various disciplines, including cybernetics, computer science, physics, cosmology, neurobiology and, of course, philosophy. At the same time, philosophy turns out to be both a basis that is necessary for such an interdisciplinary synthesis and a methodological tool. Philosophy is a condition for being able to speak in a single language about this problem due to the large conceptual baggage accumulated by the philosophical tradition (in fact, since antiquity). Using its tools, it is shown that (based on a number of assumptions related to the simulation hypothesis) the boundary between the real and the virtual is blurred, and the real (taking into account a certain transformation of the category of the real) turns out to be everything — everything imaginary.
