Alyushin, A. L., Knyazeva, E. N. Endophysical turn in epistemology or an attempt to see the world from within

Abstract: It is shown in the article that the so-called endophysical turn occurs in the modern non-classical epistemology. In the frames of the endophysical approach to the study of reality, it is assumed that an observer is presented in the observed picture of events in an unavoidable way, chooses a certain subjective temporal net and cuts out the objective tissue of events and his possibility to cognize the world depends on his bodily structures and on abilities of his consciousness. It is demonstrated that endophysics operates with notions not only of a real observer, but also of a virtual observer as a fundamental element of the procedure of mental experiment when virtual realities and entire worlds are built according to the principle as if.
