Karnat


Explanation:
According to this information, карнат may be associated with the philosophical movement of non-positivism. One of its adherents was called Karnat.

In all honesty I can't see how this could be a person, from the structure of the sentence, while its non-existence as an object in Russian suggests that you should just transcribe it.

#18. Философия позитивизма. Неопозитивизма ХХ века и его кризис

Позитивизм
Зарождается в 30-е гг. 19 века. Основоположник Огюст Конт. Он
сформулировал основную мысль: все достоверные (позитивные) знания даются
конкретными науками. Единственная задача философии – анализ самого процесса
познания. Он решал эту проблему так: пытался выделить основные стадии
исторического развития мышления, полагая, что это была сначала религиозная
стадия, затем стадия метафизическая с умозрительными попытками находить
причины сущего; затем научная стадия. Причем научное мышление отличается от
метафизического тем, что наука строго придерживается фактов и старается
точно описать их взаимосвязь. Вопросы же об общем характере бытия не
являются предметом науки. Во 2-й половине 19 века позитивизму
симпатизировало большое количество ученых. В 20 веке это направление
получает название логического позитивизма (неопозитивизма).
Неопозитивизм
Представители: Б. Рссел, Л. Витгенштейн, Р. ***Карнат ***(“Венский кружок”)
Неопозитивизм выдвинул программу анализа научного знания с целью
очистить науку от вненаучных и философских допущений.
Выдвигалось 2 приема:
1. Определить в каждой области знаний исходные предложения, которые
констатируют исходные факты.

Any way, of course, it would be capitalized if it were a name, so everything I wrote is wrong, but the non-capitalized suggestion might not be all that bad.
