Abstract

The aim of the study was to describe the metaphysics in the logical theorization of the bioecotoximonitor concept: reflection. The study was conducted from March to August 2023. It was considered, the transformation of the biomonitor to the quality of the bioecotoximonitor, logical construction of the formal system to the interpretation of arguments and causal theorization in the connection between: bioecotoximonitor and environmental conservation status of the aquatic ecosystem. The metaphysical question of the bioecotoximonitor concept was considered, the analysis from the monistic, pluralistic and instrumentalist distinction. The metaphysics in the logical theorization was based on the denominations validity and truth. The bioecotoximonitor only indicates the accumulation of information being a monistic stance, but if the bioevaluation in the bioecotoximonitor is based on the significance of a part or parts of the variation conditions the metaphysical description is pluralistic. However, the bioassessment in the bioecotoximonitor is true only when there is a significance of the consequence where the biosignal indicates the weight of the variation conditions and in this case, it would be necessary to recognize a rule or procedure of the bioassessment being instrumentalist the metaphysical description. It is concluded that bioevaluation is complex because the biosignal in the bioecotoximonitor is not always established by arguments, because in the same way, the rules or procedures allow the logical theorization of the bioecotoximonitor concept.
