Foundations and Principles of the Philosophy of Reality Основания и принципы Философии Реальности

This paper sets out the foundations and principles of the Philosophy of Reality as a philosophical approach that understands reality as a processual unity of existence and essence. Its starting point is the thesis that the mutual transition of existence and essence is both an immanent property of reality and the most general form of philosophical cognition. Within this framework, existence as essence is articulated through the categories of energy and matter, while essence as existence is articulated through the categories of property and form. On this basis, the Fundamental Law of Nature is defined as the mutual transition of energy and matter, and the Fundamental Law of Consciousness as the mutual transition of property and form. The paper argues that the cognition of nature and the cognition of consciousness are mutually mediated: nature is cognized through consciousness, and consciousness through nature. It therefore proposes a basic philosophical method for the analysis of any object, including the identification of its initial sides, the determination of its categorial structure, the disclosure of the transitions between its sides, and the synthesis of a new reality in thought.
