Realism vs constructivism in mathematics and natural sciences

Abstract

Is it possible to implement the concepts of realism and constructivism in mathematics to the natural sciences? Arguments in favor of a negative answer is provided. The main reason for this impossibility is seen in the fact that these areas of knowledge have significant differences in their relation to subject areas and they use various basic abstractions. The opinion is expressed that in the case of the life sciences, new vistas are opened by the idea of bio-cultural co-constructivism, which allows to reconstruct and represent the system “society-culture-brain” as a whole entity, permeated by reciprocal links.
