In the circle of new methodological orientations

Abstract

Thе article «In the circle of new methodological orientations» focuses on the problems of methodology of contemporary cognition related to the procedures of knowledge construction, contemporary interpretation of rationality, the notion of intersubjectivity. The article explores contemporary interpretation of the truth, interrelation of knowledge in natural and social sciences. The importance of socio-cultural mechanisms of acquiring knowledge is pointed out, including background knowledge and relative knowledge. Methodological problems are compared with typological constructions, which include methodological rules of the contemporary world and serve as an explanation and confirmation of contemporary cognitive strategy. Typological constructions include cognitive freedom as well as logical and epistemological rules. They are theoretical and methodological synthesis of results, which have been acquired in socio-cultural and epistomological contexts and serve as a good indication of postneoclassical cognitive tendencies application.
