Concept of scientific picture of the world

The problem of the definition of «scientific world " and its relationship with science is complex and is currently being discussed by philosophers as well as representatives of the natural sciences.
However, the history of science suggests the existence for a long period of time a stable ideological " atmosphere" of the general concepts about the properties of reality, under which the developing science of time. The atmosphere is called the «scientific world ". It defines the limits of "reasonable» in terms of age hypotheses, and therefore encourages the formulation of some scientific issues and, conversely, does not promote or even prevent the occurrence of others. Thus the scientific world sets defined direction for the development and theory (guiding force for research in this area), and observations (for the development of technical base).
