Abstract From mysticism to physics. And back?
The short history of main physical discoveries is presented. The birth of physics is looked after on the ground of mystical and philosophical views. Mechanisms of some natural processes are briefly compared with the laws of the inner life. Relations between physics, mathematics and metaphysics are discussed. Development of native physics is considered, especially the struggle against so called physical idealism in the USSR.
An attention is paid to cognitive difficulties of modern physics and their discussions by prominent physicists of ХХ century. Some fragments of discussions on the problem "science - religion" and "science - pseudo-science" is given for a demonstration of the approach proposed based on the addition to the physical model of external world a model of the inner life grounded on the analytical psychology and socionics.
For students in physics, philosophy and psychology and for advanced pupils of middle schools mainly of physical and mathematical orientation as well as for amateurs of physics, its history, biographies and psychology of its creators, mutual relation of physics and religion in the past and today.
