THE LEVEL STRUCTURE OF THE OBJECTIVE AND THE SUBJECTIVE REALITY

Abstract

Aim. To describe the content of the objective and subjective reality, reveal their level structure and show their relationship.
Methodology. To formulate the level approach to the description of the objective and subjective reality and substantiate it on the material of scientific cognition.
Results. The necessity of distinguishing two main levels in the structure of objective reality is substantiated: the level of objective possibilities and the level of its material realization. The first level of objective reality is more fundamental and primary in relation to the level of material reality. The expediency of distinguishing two main levels in the structure of consciousness is substantiated: non-reflexive (unconscious 1 and subconscious information) and reflexive (conscious information or knowledge obtained by means controlled by consciousness). The reflexive level of consciousness and the subjective reality created by it consists of four levels: sensory reality, empirical reality, theoretical reality of consciousness and metatheoretical reality. All types of subjective reality are reference in relation to objective reality (a set of “things in themselves”, their properties and relationships).
Research implications. The philosophical and methodological significance of the level concept of objective and subjective reality and their correlation for the correct understanding of philosophical and concrete scientific knowledge, their functions and capabilities are shown.
