В отличие от ньютоновской механистической картины мира, лежавшей в основе универсалистских представлений о прогрессе, объективности и познаваемости реальности, квантовая механика вводит в научное мышление неопределённость, контекстуальность, нелокальность и зависимость знания от акта наблюдения. Тем самым она подрывет представление о реальности как о едином, иерархически упорядоченном и полностью прозрачном пространстве, ставя под вопрос эпистемологические основания западного универсализма. В культурном измерении этот разрыв проявляется в формах научного магического реализма, где квантовый мир предстает как парадоксальный и до конца непостижимый. Такая эстетика позволяет рассматривать квантовую революцию не только как теоретический прорыв в физике, но и как внутренний эпистемологический перелом модерной научной рациональности. Речь идёт не об отказе от рациональности как таковой, а о трансформации её оснований: признании неопределённости, контекстуальности и участия наблюдателя как структурных характеристик знания. Этот сдвиг сопоставим с теми эпистемологическими напряжениями, которые постколониальная теория фиксирует в ситуациях, когда гегемонический дискурс сталкивается с формами знания, не редуцируемыми к его универсалистской логике. В данном контексте квантовая физика выступает как внутренняя форма эпистемологической инаковости внутри западной науки: оставаясь частью её канона, она одновременно пересобирает его онтологические предпосылки и ограничивает его притязание на единственный нормативный режим рациональности. Перенос квантовой логики в социальную теорию открывает возможность перехода от механистической социальной онтологии к квантовой социальной онтологии, в которой приоритет отдается отношениям, взаимной конституции и процессуальности. Такая трансформация носит характер пассивной революции и ведет к плюрализации знания и формированию плюриверсального онто-эпистемологического горизонта, в котором научная рациональность становится совместимой со множеством локальных космологий и способов быть в мире.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Quantum physics can be understood as an epistemological rupture that transforms the foundations of modern scientific rationality. In contrast to the Newtonian mechanistic worldview that underpinned universalist notions of progress, objectivity, and control, quantum mechanics introduces uncertainty, contextuality, non-locality, and the constitutive role of observation into scientific knowledge. These features destabilize the image of reality as a unified, hierarchically structured, and fully transparent domain, thereby challenging the epistemic premises of Western universalism. At the cultural level, this rupture finds expression in forms of scientific magical realism, where the quantum world appears as strange, paradoxical, elusive and fundamentally ungraspable. Such representations allow the quantum revolution to be interpreted not only as a theoretical breakthrough in physics but as an internal epistemological transformation of modern rationality itself. The issue is not the abandonment of rationality, but the reconfiguration of its foundations: the acknowledgment of uncertainty, contextuality, and the participatory role of the observer as structural features of knowledge. This shift is comparable to the epistemological tensions identified by postcolonial theory in situations where hegemonic discourses encounter forms of knowledge that cannot be reduced to their universalist logic. In this sense, quantum physics emerges as a form of internal epistemological alterity within Western science: while remaining part of its canon, it simultaneously rearticulates its ontological assumptions and limits its claim to constitute the sole normative regime of rationality. Extending quantum logic into social theory enables a shift from mechanistic social ontology toward a quantum social ontology, in which relationality, co-constitution, and process take precedence over fixed entities and linear causality. This transformation unfolds as a form of passive revolution, in the Gramscian sense: a profound ontological reorientation achieved not through the destruction of disciplinary institutions, but through their gradual conceptual reconfiguration. The epistemological outcome of this shift is the pluralization of knowledge and the emergence of a pluriversal onto-epistemological horizon, where scientific rationality becomes compatible with multiple cosmologies and situated ways of knowing. In this sense, the quantum turn opens a pathway toward the decolonization of knowledge and the rethinking of global order beyond universalist epistemic hierarchies.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>квантовая рациональность</kwd><kwd>эпистемологическая деколонизация</kwd><kwd>история научной рациональности</kwd><kwd>научный магический реализм</kwd><kwd>плюриверсальность</kwd><kwd>постколониальная эпистемология</kwd><kwd>квантовый поворот</kwd><kwd>социальная онтология</kwd><kwd>онтоэпистемология</kwd><kwd>деколонизация знания</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>quantum rationality</kwd><kwd>epistemic decolonization</kwd><kwd>history of scientific rationality</kwd><kwd>scientific magical realism</kwd><kwd>pluriversality</kwd><kwd>postcolonial epistemology</kwd><kwd>quantum turn</kwd><kwd>social ontology</kwd><kwd>onto-epistemology</kwd><kwd>decolonizing knowledge</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Исследование выполнено за счёт гранта Российского научного фонда (проект № 23–18-01045 «Трансферный потенциал политической науки в системе социогуманитарного знания»)</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The research was supported by the Russian Science Foundation (project № 23-18-01045 «The Transfer Potential of Political Science within the System of Sociohumanitarian Knowledge»)</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Дастон Л.
