We describe how the choice of an appropriate (“physical”) gauge leads to the solution of a nonperturbative problem in quantum electrodynamics: dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in QED in a constant magnetic field.

Since the moment when the first attempts to cognize the world were made by man, more than once it was noted and it was recognized that man can use two basic methods of cognition. The characteristics of each of the methods allow us to conditionally divide them into intuitive and rational, traditionally attributed to religion and science, respectively. Each of these types of knowledge has various grounds for it, which gives rise to a different vision of the world. Before proceeding (...) to their comparison, it is necessary to give a brief description of the changes that have shaped the modern scientific vision of the world. (shrink)

The purpose of the present article is not an excursion into the history of philosophy. It is not a story of the adventures of Immanuel Kant on Russian soil, and even less does it pretend to expound systematically the perception of Kantian philosophy by Russian metaphysics. The author's interest is strictly philosophical. Russian religious thought, insofar as it has an appetite for philosophizing, consciously enters into the life of classical European philosophy, into that living communication of minds by which truth (...) is sustained, moved, and nourished among people and nations.2 A clarification of its personal relations with the central figures of this philosophical drama will help us to understand the strictly philosophical significance of Russian metaphysics more accurately than even sometimes the most dedicated description of it in itself succeeds in doing.
