| Abstract [eng] |
The paper deals with the issue of the impact of the 17th century scientific revolution upon the development of philosophy. The main focus is relation between science and philosophy and effects of the revolution on the interpretation of that relation. The author argues that the relation between metaphysics and science has been transformed due to the replacement of the Aristotelian programme of the development of science by the Pythagorean one. The contraposition of aims, methods and problems characteristic of special science to those typical of metaphysics created preconditions for bringing forward the positivist schemes of the transformation of philosophy into one or another special science. The paper ends with the conclusion that science which already in the 17th century became an intellectual power excelling philosophy in significance and influence forced philosophy and philosophers to take a specific stance on it. This stance determines the spectrum of different ways of doing philosophy and their relation to each other. Some philosophers do not reflect the stance on science taken by them. But this stance always affects the choice of ways of doing philosophy. |
