Is It Possible to Observe Society in Its Totality? Niklas Luhmann as Perseus and Medusa as Society
The article raises the question of the theoretical and cognitive foundations of sociological observation in the system-communication theory of Niklas Luhmann. Observation of society in its entirety is possible only from within itself, and therefore its observer (sociologist, artist, writer, moralist, politician or participant in a social movement) is necessarily included in the observed object itself. This circumstance gives rise to the paradox o…
Social Philosophy and Science
In June 2024, the “round table” “Social Philosophy and Science: Causality, Patterns, and Invariants of Social Development” was held at the Faculty of Philosophy of Lomonosov Moscow State University. The event was organized by the Faculty of Philosophy of Moscow State University, the journal Voprosy Filosofii, and participants of the research project “Analysis of Social Causality and Invariants of Social Development as a Method for Overcoming …
Scientific Rationality in the Language of Systems-communications Theory
The problem of the “experimenter’s regress” is widely discussed in the modern philosophy of science [Collins 1985]. However, it allows generalization and can be presented as a theoretical-cognitive paradox, as a philosophical-linguistic problem of reference and as a problem of philosophy of consciousness. The reliability of the functioning of “reality detectors” of any kind (devices, sensual abilities, theories, language statements or mental act…
The Evolutionary Dimension of Scientific Progress
This article considers problems that the biologically based general theory of evolution is facing today when it is extrapolated to the problem of scientific progress. It investigates how scientific theories can be interpreted as replacing each other, about what the external environment of scientific communication is, what institutions are responsible for the selection of the best theories, and the extent to which the autonomous mechanisms of scie…
The Paradox of Scientific Progress in the Evolutionary Dimension
The article proposes a solution to the paradox of scientific progress, formulated by Max Weber. Science formulates true and objective judgments, and only this distinguishes it from the world of value judgments, ideology, religion, art. On the other hand, the “lifespan of truths” is extremely small and any statement about scientific progress looks unconvincing just in comparison with the progress of value discourses, where each stage of developme…
Alexander von Humboldt and Science Policy
In conditions of deep social differentiation, science, apparently, is not capable of internal integration. As a result, it cannot fully participate in political life as an independent and equal subject. Turning to the figure of Alexander von Humboldt, the author reconstructs a certain “workaround” of the possible influence of scientists on politics and science management. The importance of the Humboldt brothers for world science in general and R…
From Normal Science to Revolutionary One and Vice Versa
The article poses the question of which science, revolutionary or normal, is more in line with the concept of modernity. We consider the claims to the modernity of both types of sciences and substantiate the conclusion that revolutionary science can be understood as a situational response of scientists to the state of crisis of normal science. The author argues that revolutionary (at some given point in time) science again brings us back to the f…
Systemic-communicative Theory of Science 30 Years Later
Статья посвящена 30-летию выхода книги Никласа Лумана «Наука общества». Реконструируется системно-коммуникативный подход к анализу науки. В качестве ключевой поставлена проблема «редукции комплексности» внешнего мира науки. С одной стороны, наука наблюдает собственно внешний мир (то есть природу, общество, психику) и этим выполняет уникальную социальную функцию – научное исследование. С другой стороны, наука вынуждена реагировать и на компле…
Sorokin Pitirim Revisited. His Place in Social Philosophy as a Transdisciplinary Thinker
The article reviews the contribution made by Pitirim Sorokin, Russian- American sociologist and philosopher, into the development of social thought during the Russian period of his work. It analyses the program of autonomation of sociology as a transdisciplinary science. It proves that Sorokin managed to anticipate many ideas of the system-communication theory being the most respected at the moment and to reveal the major conditions for crystalli…
How do We Criticize Max Weber Today
New Social Movements and their Evolution in the Network Age
Scientific Knowledge as a Concept of the Social Philosophy
The Communicative Philosophy of Radical Protest, its Genesis and Positive Research Program
«Truth» and «authority» as Categories of Social Philosophy
The paper highlights the mutual isolation between politics (collective imperatives, normative expectations that force to take action) and science (area of cognitive expectations dependent on similarly imperative internal, though universally shared, intersubjective convictions. Particular attention is paid to the specifics of the interdependence between political development and science in Russia. The authors investigate prerequisites for the affi…
