principle of subsidiarity is a methodological postulate, which was originally formulated by the great Danish physicist Niels Bohr and philosopher as applied to the field of quantum mechanics.Bohr's complementarity principle, likely came to light only because even earlier, the German physicist Kurt Godel suggested that the wording of its output and the famous theorem about the properties of deductive systems, which relates to the field of formal logic.Niels Bohr extended the logical conclusions Gödel on the subject area of quantum mechanics and formulated the principle like this: in order to fairly and adequately know the subject of a microcosm, it should be examined in systems that are mutually exclusive, that is, in some other systems.This definition, and went down in history as the principle of complementarity in quantum mechanics.
example of such solutions microcosm, was to consider the world in the context of the two theories - wave and that has led to a striking performance scientific results revealed to man the physical nature of light.
Niels Bohr in his understanding of this conclusion, went even further.He makes an attempt to interpret the subsidiarity principle in the light of philosophical knowledge and it is here that the principle becomes a universal scientific value.Now, the wording of the principle of sound like: to, to reproduce a phenomenon with a view to his knowledge of sign (symbolic) system, it is necessary to resort to additional concepts and categories.In more simple terms, the principle of subsidiarity requires the knowledge of not only possible, but in some cases necessary to use several methodological systems that will acquire objective data about the subject.The principle of subsidiarity in this sense, has proved as a fact of agreement with the metaphors of logical systems methodology - they can express themselves and so differently.Thus, with the advent and comprehension of this principle, in fact, it recognized that a logic of knowledge is not enough, and therefore recognized as valid illogical conduct in the research process.Ultimately, the application of the principle of Bohr contributed to a significant change in the scientific world.
Later Lotman expanded methodological importance of the principle of Bohr and brought its laws to the sphere of culture, in particular applied to the description of semiotics of culture.Lotman formulated the so-called "paradox of the amount of information", the essence of which is that human existence is mainly occurs in an information failure.And with the development of this failure will always increase.Using the principle of subsidiarity, it is possible to compensate for the lack of information by translating it into a different semiotic (symbolic) system.This method has led, in fact, the appearance of Informatics and Cybernetics, and then the Internet.Later, the operation principle has been confirmed by the physiological adaptability of the human brain to this type of thinking, this asymmetry is caused by the activities of its hemispheres.
Another provision, which is mediated by the action of the principle of Bohr, is the fact that the opening of the German physicist Werner Heisenberg uncertainty relation law.Its action can be defined as inability to recognition of the same description of the two objects with the same accuracy if the objects are of different systems.The philosophical analogy this finding led Ludwig Wittgenstein, who in his work "On Certainty" stated that the approval of the certainty of anything, it is necessary in some doubt.
Thus, the principle of Bohr, has acquired enormous methodological importance in various fields of scientific knowledge.
