    1. Science, from the author’s point of view, has external and internal boundaries. External borders are not known, but can hypothetically be known. The internal boundaries of science are boundaries determined by the scientific method itself, the very nature of science, those areas that science can not cognize without denying itself. External borders, the boundaries between the cognized and the unknown, are more difficult to conduct in a certain sense, the author believes.

      The article considers several points of view on the issue of the external boundaries of science, in particular, of such thinkers as D. Locke, M. Heidegger and M. Bulgakov. The author concludes that "modern scientific theories are only a predicate, and finding the corresponding subject, the very matter, is actually an unsolvable task for science while it wants to have the form of a scientific theory." Experiment, certainly, serves to "hook" this theory "onto the reality." However, the theory is still too abstract, as Kant's notion of "things-in-themselves" remains abstract. In order to advance to more ontological areas science must overcome both its particular language form and, probably, the specific nature of the experimental setup, Katasonov states.

      The author is sure that "without discussing the metaphysical roots of science and, in particular, man’s stand towards nature and the Absolute, which is usually tacitly assumed by science, science will remain only a passionate race to discover" laws of nature ", insolently and irresponsibly "revealing the seals” and releasing the "genies" with which humanity may not have the strength to cope."
