Popis: | The problem of the dynamics of scientific knowledge is one of the central problems in modern methodology of science. This problem involves three main issues. The first concerns the essence of the process of science: whether it is a gradual evolutionary change( i.e. expansion of the scope and content of scientific truths), or describes a more complex model with jumps, revolutions, qualitative differences in views on the same subject [14]? This question may be formulated otherwise: is the dynamics of science the process of cumulative or, rather, anticumulative (including the waiver of some previous scientific views as unacceptable the position of new theories)? [7]. The second question concerns the explanation of the dynamics of scientific knowledge: whether it is possible to interpret it by appealing exclusively to action intrascientific (internal) factors or you must recognize a significant impact on scientific knowledge of a number of non-scientific (external), in particular, socio-cultural, factors? [16;19]. The third question involves the search for general laws of development of scientific knowledge and specific patterns of development of different fields of science [6]. The answers to the above-formulated problem cannot be obtained without the involvement of the factual material of the history of science. But the appeal to history of science assures us that the dynamics of scientific knowledge science is not a purely logical process of the unfolding of the content of scientific knowledge, and cognitive changes that take place in historical space and time. However, it is equally clear that historical material always needs some philosophical interpretation, as can be rationale reconstructs in different ways [15]. |
