It has been proved that theoretical scientific models
created as a result of the learning process, reflect
not the reality of "what it really is" and only the
reality "what it is" in the process of interaction with
tools of empirical knowledge, i.e. the organs of
perception of a certain organism that supports a
corresponding form of consciousness, experimental
instruments and information-measuring systems of
a certain functional level. Examples and consequences
of the major mistakes that have been historically
made by scientists for the substantial interpretation
of theoretical scientific models: this
error is unwarranted giving the model the ontological
status ("hypostatizations") and its associated
error model giving the status of universality. The
history of the emergence and development of science
was viewed as a process of sequential application
of natural scientific method to the study of
objects of knowledge, previously studied in the
framework of philosophy. We have formulated a
promising idea of solving problems of philosophy
of natural science methods. In the framework of
implementation of this idea, we have proposed a
natural-scientific formulation and solution of the
basic question of philosophy. This new scientific
concept of "Relatively objective and Relatively
subjective" and discusses the relationship of the
content of these concepts from forms of consciousness.
The article gives a natural-scientific definition
of consciousness and offers periodic multi-criteria
classification of forms of consciousness, including
49 forms of consciousness: the 7 types of 7 consciousness
and cognition methods. It examines the
dialectics of the changing ideological paradigms
from antiquity to the present day and a place of
scientific paradigms in the process. It also describes
the law of denial-denial in the change of ideological
paradigms and on the basis; it explores the hypothesis
about the main features of the future ideological
paradigm, formed in the present. We have
formulated the correct principles of interpreting
scientific models of natural-scientific method –
scientific method of induction and the principles of
open consciousness, i.e. the principles, opening the
way for the formation of new, improved and more adequate models of reality than the existing ones
which were considered the only true models
In the article we consider some main tendencies which are characteristic for development of modern natural sciences and for ontology and the theory of knowledge’s process. Features of synergetic as interdisciplinary scientific direction, the concept of a universal evolutionism, value of information in nature development are discussed. Methodological basis of the process of integration of scientific knowledge is the interdisciplinary direction of the research which important component is the synergetic. It plays an important role in the concept of coevolution realization which considers mutual relation of the person and the nature, the micro- and the mega-world. The article demonstrates that having revealed the laws of functioning of complexly evolutionizing, nonlinear systems, synergetic thus posed the fundamental questions of both epistemological and ideological and value nature. Conceptual shifts occurring in cognition open up the new sides in the interpretation of not just order and disorder but also the categories they generate. The author points out on the features of synergy, which using the linearity аnd nonlinearity in the theory expresses the aspects of material unity of the world, linked to the general properties of self-development of complex systems. The universe is seen as a dissipative system with periodically removable elements (elementary dissipative systems)
The article deals with the issues of formation and development of cultural self-identity under the influence of the cultural and historical dynamics. Careful attention is paid to the description of continuous formation of the elements of self-identity on the back of the changing time perception
The article deals with the spiritual autonomy of
religious consciousness as a cultural phenomenon in
the context of everyday life in the hermeneutic aspect.
For understanding the basics of spiritual autonomy of
religious consciousness it is necessary to analyze the
language of religion, in this case, based on the concept
of culture code using hermeneutic methods in the
civilized and cultural-historical approaches, focusing
on the unity of objectivity and subjectivity, to meet
with the image of a different culture and its values
The article revises the classical nature/culture opposition from the point of new discoveries and studies of "cultural traditions" that were found in nature in different species (bees, ants, birds, monkeys, etc.). Special attention is given to the socially mediated mechanisms of inheritance and learning, considered particular cognitive foundations of cultural traditions. A number of studies have shown that the main feature of culture that exists in the human community is its cumulative nature. Cumulativeness is characterized by the ability to social development that is based on the consideration, accumulation and improvement of the achievements of previous generations and on distributed actions resulting from the increasing complexity of knowledge and social activities. Considering examples of the origin and development of means of communication, creation of new tools and "technology" of their usage, scientists show that small cumulative effects are presented in nature. In this regard, the work moderates categorical statements, according to which "cultural traditions" in nature have only accumulative and no cumulative characteristics. The article shows the necessary individual cognitive prerequisites for the origin of such cumulative culture. It is also argued that for an explanation of that origin the study of the social grounds of the communication are required, furthermore, there is necessity to take into account the various manifestations of "social intelligence" that is significant for formation of inter-subjective knowledge and "social memory". It is presupposed that the cumulative nature of the evolution is essential not only for sociocultural but also for other genetic and non-genetic inheritance systems
Only the rational, normally functioning legislation is
able to afford free exchange of information,
respectively and normal functioning of cultural
institutions, and creation of effective social
technologies and effective functioning of democratic
society, as such. It only emphasizes its special social
importance both for the country in general, and for
each hotel citizen as cultural values cause internal
stability of society, being its spiritual basis, its toposy.
And the library science which is determined as - an
industry of information, cultural, educational activities
of society that includes education and development of
libraries, forming and handling of library stocks, the
organization of library, information and library and
bibliographic servicing of users of libraries,
preparation of library personnel, scientific and
methodical ensuring development of libraries has
special value in this aspect. The emphasized attention
to a library science and people who work in
organizations of libraries can be seen in the
Presidential decree of Ukraine "About establishment
of All-Ukrainian day of libraries" from 5/14/1998 No.
71/98 and which is directed as it is told in the Decree
on increase of a role of the book in social and political
and historical and cultural life of the population of
Ukraine, and also on the problem resolution of
development of a library science. Thus, it is possible
to conclude that in Ukraine there are developments the
legislation, both for needs of the most library science,
and for implementation of free exchange of
information within the country and beyond its limits.
That, in turn, can be a basis as for creation, application
and effective use of social technologies, and for
further development of the cultural sphere of society
The article solves a problem of correlation of different
forms of cognition such as philosophy and religion in
the ontological process, which is refers as a dialectical
unity of the becoming of being and thinking. The
definition of the logical form of the individual stages
of cognition appears possible only in
case that they are the special forms of determination of
the universal form of being, which for them is a
universal content. The special definition of the
universal form of being through certain forms of
cognition is a logical necessity ontological process. Its
subdividing into three stages is mediated by exact
historical incarnation of three logical forms, which in
the sphere of cognition correspond: art/myth;
religion/science; philosophy. On the basis of the
identity of the content of philosophy and religion,
which is the universal form of being, it is argued that
their identity is at the last stage of the becoming of
culture is the result of realization of this form in the
idea of concrete identity. Its concrete manifestation in
all aspects of being and thinking completes itself an
ontological process, turning it into the system, which is
infinitely determined by the logical form. The idea of
concrete identity, which is the ideal purpose and actual
result of a becoming of being, leaving nothing in it
abstract and indeterminate, fully expresses itself in
ideal by the form, the universal notion. Since in the
notion of the subject and object, thinking and being,
the spirit and the nature they completely coincide, then
the universal notion is a concrete manifestation of the
universal subject – the absolute person, eternally
united in all their attributes. The concept of the idea of
concrete identity, arising not only in philosophy, but
also in religion – in an image of the absolute person,
by means of their associations at the highest stage of
development, reaches the limit point of its definition
The article contemplates the problem of the world view crisis. It presents the comparative analysis of the understanding of the idea of the volitional creation as the cause and the consequence of the world view crisis at the turn of Antiquity and the Middle Ages and at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries
A clarification and interpretation of the philosophical
meaning of the "learned ignorance" doctrine, viewed
from an aspect of a history of philosophy, involves a
necessity to educe a genetic and essential relationship
between the "learned ignorance" principle and the
apophatic tradition of thought. The article describes
the genesis of the "docta ignorantia" principle: it
appeared in a context of theology as a method for
attaining of the knowledge of God. It is this concept
that often forces researchers to restrict the epistemic
potential of the "learned ignorance" principle, leaving
it in limits of negative theology and mystics. However
after investigating the difference between the
philosophical and the religious understanding of
theology the authors of the article interpret the
paradigm of the "learned ignorance" to be a
fundamental philosophic principle of thought and
cognition. Nowadays it is widely accepted, that the
paradigm of the "learned ignorance" in it's classical
form originates from the apophatic tradition. The
article points out, that the representative examples of
apophaticism, which could be found in the christian
theology, on the one hand, were based on a solid
philosophic tradition (predominantly platonic and
neoplatonic), and on the other hand, did not complete a
spread in a world philosophic thought of a definite
(apophatic) tradition, which had an intimate
connection with the paradigm of the "learned
ignorance", postulating as it's main intention a
seemingly paradoxical comprehension of the Absolute,
supposed to be absolutely incomprehensible.
The results of the scientific research in a field, thus
defined, are presented briefly in this article
The article is about the theory of epistemological aspect of the sobor values, and the analysis of the historical and philosophical beginning of this topic in foreign and national philosophy. This article is a continuation of the epistemological concept of the author
