SCIENTIFIC BELIEFS AS INTEGRIT

Abstract

The article is devoted to the stages of formation of personal beliefs. The author designates them as knowledge, emotions, will, ideas and shows a real complex picture of the interaction of these nodal points. The author notes that the process takes place without dividing the stages, as if simultaneously: knowledge is acquired and the emotional-volitional sphere develops. He traces the influence of the laws of dialectics on the whole process, for example, the dialectic of the part and the whole. Indeed, in this case, there is an interdependence not only between individual nodal points of beliefs, but also between the belief and each of its other parts. This dialectical process is a collision of various contradictions (the desire and unwillingness to comprehend knowledge, aspirations and deviations from the goal). As a result of a person's struggle with himself, a qualitative change is made (the law of the transition of quantity into quality). The author examines the interaction of belief and faith with scientific worldviews and concludes that scientific knowledge, which has become an inner conviction of a person, is colored by the whole gamut of feelings and emotions and turns into faith, which ultimately activates his practical activity. Belief attracts everything that suits it, and repels everything incompatible. This is the evaluation function of the assurance.
