The relevance of energy conservation and saving energy resources in buildings is beyond doubt. The transition to a market economy is accompanied by a significant increase in fuel and energy prices, as well as an increase in operating costs. The experience of a number of countries in the renovation of existing buildings shows that the maximum efficiency of energy saving measures is achieved if design solutions are based on the following principles: complexity (technical), optimality (economic) and balance (environmental)

M. Bakhtin's solution

The book contains an analysis of the main philosophical, methodological and literary-aesthetic ideas that form the core of the scientific heritage of Mikhail Bakhtin, a widely known Russian philologist and thinker of the 20th century. The author explores the connection of M. Bakhtin's discoveries with the phenomenological and neo-Kantian traditions, analyzes the key concepts of Bakhtin's heritage: dialogism, monologism, polyphony, carnivalization, polyphony, ambivalence, official and humorous culture, chronotope, one's own and someone else's word. Particular attention is paid to the problems of metalinguistics and speech activity. At the same time, A. Pankov draws attention to the paradoxes and dilemmas that arise in the concept of M. Bakhtin in connection with the latter’s appeal to issues that require a systematic approach. In this regard, for the interpretation of theoretical material, little-known concepts of Russian methodologists who actively worked in the field of the General Theory of Activity (the work of G.P. Shchedrovitsky and others) in the 50-80s are used. A significant place is devoted to Bakhtin's understanding of genres, “poetic language,” and the history of the novel. The book talks about the artistic worldview as a subject of literary research and the role of literary criticism in the processes of reproduction of literary activity. Particular attention is paid to the category of “reflection” and “reflexive” motives in the works of M. Bakhtin. The originality of Bakhtin's view of medieval culture and the work of Dostoevsky is revealed.

GOOD speech is the most important condition for the full development of children. The richer and more correct a child’s speech, the easier it is for him to express his thoughts, the wider his opportunities in understanding the surrounding reality, in communicating with peers and adults, the more active his mental development is. Therefore, it is so important to pay timely attention to the formation of the child’s speech, to its purity and correctness, preventing and correcting various speech disorders.

The article substantiates the mechanism of endogenous salt release. Salt strata of rocks of different geological periods and their tectonic intrusions in the form of salt domes and stocks are predominantly endogenous in nature. They occur as a result of crystallization of deep salt-saturated solutions erupted through crustal faults and dislocation of the sedimentary cover through gas “fistulas”. Brines are formed due to the influx of surface water into the semi-melt zone of gas-saturated rocks of the asthenolens, which is associated with crustal depressions and a large river drainage

Gubkin noted back in 1937 that “the problem of salt domes is one of the most difficult and confusing

The introduction of modern technologies for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of various diseases, the level of population satisfaction with the quality of medical services provided does not go beyond negative assessments, as evidenced by the results of sociological studies conducted by VTsIOM, Levada Center, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, as well as on the initiative of the authors of the article . Based on the theoretical approaches of sociologists to the study of the peculiarities of the functioning of social institutions of modern society, the authors point out as one of the main reasons for the paradoxical development of the institute of medicine in Russia at the present stage, the instability of patients’ trust in its main actors and structures. The article discusses the types of trust in medicine and the factors influencing their formation, among which the authors indicate as key the social status of the doctor in modern Russian society, his economic and legal status, stereotyping of public consciousness by the media and the creation of a negative image of a medical worker, as well as the lack of formation of health-saving behavior among the population. Particular attention is paid to the problem of interpersonal trust, which, according to the authors, is a key determinant in the formation of relationships in the doctor-patient system in modern conditions of transformation of the hierarchical structure of social interactions into a linear one, which is due to objective processes of further informatization of society.

The article presents the results of an analysis of works from the late 19th to the first quarter of the 20th centuries devoted to the problems of social hygiene. It has been established that the emergence of social hygiene was directly related to a radical revision of ideas about the causes and essence of diseases, which created the necessary conditions for the transfer of ideas and methods of political economy, sociology and eugenics to medicine. It has been proven that the emergence of social hygiene was a natural consequence of those fundamental changes in mass medical consciousness that characterize the scientific revolution in medicine in the last quarter of the 19th - first half of the 20th century.

New philosophical use of the word incommensurability - the result of conversations Paul Feyerabend With Thomas Kuhn on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley around 1960.

What did it mean before these two people reintroduced it into use? This word had a precise meaning in Greek mathematics. It meant they do not have a common measure.

Two length segments have a common measure (commensurable) if (for some n and m) m segments of the first length are equal in length to n segments of the second length. Thus, we can measure one segment by another. Not all lengths are comparable. The diagonal of a square is not commensurate with its side, or, as we now express this fact, √2 cannot be represented by a rational number of the form m/n, where m and n are integers.

When philosophers use the metaphor of incommensurability, they do not mean anything so precise. They think about comparing scientific theories, but of course there cannot be an exact measure for this purpose. After twenty years of bitter debate, the word incommensurable came to refer to three different things. I will call them incommensurability of questions, disunity and incommensurability of meaning. The first two, unlike the third, can be quite clear. […]

Structure of science Ernest Nagel, published in 1961, was one of the classic works of philosophy of science written recently in English. (Titles can say a lot. The main success of 1962 was the book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions). Nagel talks about stable structures and continuity. He takes for granted that knowledge tends to accumulate.

From time to time, theory T is replaced by theory T1. When should a theory be changed? Nagel's idea is that the new theory T1 should be able to explain the phenomena that theory T explains, and, in addition, make all the valid predictions that theory T makes. In addition to this, it should either exclude some erroneous part T, or cover a wider range of phenomena or predictions. Ideally, T1 does both. In this case, T1 absorbs, includes (subsumes) T.

If T1 absorbs T, then, roughly speaking, there is a common measure for comparing both theories. In any case, the correct part of T is included in T1. So we can metaphorically say that T and T1 are commensurate. Such commensurability provides a basis for rational comparison of theories. […]

The most important characteristic of knowledge is its dynamics, i.e. its growth, change, development, etc. This idea, not so new, was already expressed in ancient philosophy, and Hegel formulated it in the proposition that “truth is a process” and not “a finished result.” This problem was actively studied by the founders and representatives of dialectical-materialist philosophy - especially from the methodological positions of the materialist understanding of history and materialist dialectics, taking into account the sociocultural conditionality of this process.

However, in Western philosophy and methodology of science of the 20th century. in fact - especially during the years of the “triumphant march” of logical positivism (and it, indeed, had considerable success) - scientific knowledge was studied without taking into account its growth and changes.

The fact is that logical positivism as a whole was characterized by a) absolutization of formal logical and linguistic issues; b) hypertrophy of artificially constructed formalized languages ​​(to the detriment of natural ones); c) concentration of research efforts on the structure of “ready”, established knowledge without taking into account its genesis and evolution; d) reduction of philosophy to private scientific knowledge, and the latter to a formal analysis of the language of science; e) ignoring the sociocultural context of knowledge analysis, etc.

The development of knowledge is a complex dialectical process that has certain qualitatively different stages. Thus, this process can be considered as a movement from myth to logos, from logos to “pre-science”, from “pre-science” to science, from classical science to non-classical and further to post-non-classical, etc., from ignorance to knowledge, from shallow incomplete to deeper and more perfect knowledge, etc.

In modern Western philosophy, the problem of growth and development of knowledge is central to the philosophy of science, represented especially clearly in such movements as evolutionary (genetic) epistemology and postpositivism. Evolutionary epistemology is a direction in Western philosophical and epistemological thought, the main task of which is to identify the genesis and stages of development of knowledge, its forms and mechanisms in an evolutionary manner and, in particular, to build on this basis the theory of the evolution of science. Evolutionary epistemology strives to create a generalized theory of the development of science, based on the principle of historicism.

One of the well-known and productive variants of the form of epistemology under consideration is the genetic epistemology of the Swiss psychologist and philosopher J. Piaget. It is based on the principle of increasing invariance of knowledge under the influence of changes in the conditions of experience. Piaget, in particular, believed that epistemology is a theory of reliable knowledge, which is always a process and not a state. Piaget identified four main stages in cognitive (intellectual) development, which is characterized by a strict sequence of formation: sensorimotor, intuitive (pre-operational), concrete operational and formal operational. One of the first rules of genetic epistemology is, according to Piaget, the “rule of cooperation.” Studying how our knowledge increases (grows, increases), in each specific case it unites philosophers, psychologists, logicians, representatives of mathematics, cybernetics, synergetics and others - including social sciences and humanities.

The problem of growth (development, change) of knowledge has been especially actively developed since the 60s. XX century supporters of postpositivism - K. Popper, T. Kuhn, I. Lakatos, P. Feyerabend, St. Toulmin and others. Turning their attention to history, the development of science, and not just to a formal analysis of its “frozen” structure, representatives of postpositivism began to build various models of this development, considering them as special cases of general evolutionary changes taking place in the world. They believed that there is a close analogy between the growth of knowledge and biological growth, i.e. evolution of plants and animals.

In postpositivism, there is a significant change in the problems of philosophical research: if logical positivism focused on the analysis of the structure of scientific knowledge, then postpositivism makes its main problem the understanding of the growth and development of knowledge. In this regard, representatives of postpositivism were forced to turn to the study of the history of the emergence, development and change of scientific ideas and theories.

The first such concept was the concept of the growth of knowledge by K. Popper.

Popper considers knowledge (in any form) not only as a ready-made, established system, but also as a changing, developing system. He presented this aspect of the analysis of science in the form of the concept of the growth of scientific knowledge. In his concept, Popper formulates three basic requirements for the growth of knowledge. First, a new theory must start from a simple, new, fruitful and unifying idea. Secondly, it must be independently verifiable, i.e. lead to the presentation of phenomena that have not yet been observed. In other words, the new theory should be more fruitful as a research tool. Third, a good theory must withstand some new and rigorous tests



In the 50s, it was discovered that the “revolution in philosophy” proclaimed by neopositivism did not justify the hopes placed on it. The classical problems, the overcoming and removal of which neopositivism promised, were reproduced in a new form in the course of its own evolution. The very concept of neopositivism is increasingly being replaced by the concept of “analytical philosophy”. In the 60-70s in the west. philosophy of science develops a current of postpositivism. Postpositivists (Popper, Moon, Lakatos, Feirabenb, Polanyi) criticized the positivist ideal of fact, introducing a historical, sociological and cultural dimension into the analysis of science. The main thesis of postpositivism is that science is a historical phenomenon, science develops. Not only its theories and knowledge change, but the criteria and principles and even the mechanisms of its functioning change. Postpositivism is a general name used in the philosophy of science to refer to a variety of methodological concepts that replaced those inherent in the methodology of logical positivism. His offensive was marked by the release in 1959 of the English. version of Popper's main methodological work - "The Logic of Scientific Discovery", as well as in 1963 Kuhn's book - "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions". A characteristic feature of the postpositivist stage is a significant diversity of methodological concepts and their mutual criticism. These are Popper's falsificationism and Kuhn's concept of scientific revolutions, and the methodology of Lakatos' research programs, and Polanyi's concept of tacit knowledge. The authors and defenders of these concepts create very different images of science and its development. At the same time, there are common features characteristic of postpositivism:

1) Postpositivism moves away from the orientation towards symbolic logic and turns to the history of science. Those. we are talking about the correspondence of scientific constructions to real scientific knowledge and its history.

2) In postpositivism, there is a significant change in the problems of methodological research. In logical positivism there is an analysis of the structure of scientific knowledge, in post-positivism there is an understanding of the development of scientific knowledge.

3) Postpositivism is characterized by a rejection of rigid dividing lines, in contrast to positivism. Postpositivism speaks of the interpenetration of the empirical and theoretical, of a smooth transition.

4) Postpositivism is gradually moving away from the ideology of demarcationism professed by logical positivism. The latter believed that it was possible and necessary to establish a clear demarcation line between science and non-science.

5) A common feature of postpositivist concepts is their desire to rely on the history of science.

6) Postpositivism recognized that significant, revolutionary transformations are inevitable in the history of science, when a significant part of previously recognized and substantiated knowledge is revised - not only theories, but also facts, methods, fundamental worldviews.

Among the most important problems considered by postpositivism, we can note: a) the problem of falsification (Popper) - a fact that contradicts a scientific theory falsifies it and forces scientists to abandon it, but the process of falsification is not so simple; b) the problem of the credibility of scientific theories (Popper); c) the problem of commensurability of scientific theories (Kuhn and Feyrabend) - the incommensurability of competing scientific theories; d) the problem of rationality - a narrow understanding of rationality was replaced by a more vague one; e) problem of understanding; f) the problem of the sociology of knowledge.
Kuhn and Feyerabend put forward the thesis about the incommensurability of competing scientific theories, about the absence of common standards of comparison for them. This thesis caused great controversy.

T. Kuhn, posing the question of supplementing the consensus model, believed: competing theories are radically incommensurable, hence the impossibility for those who represent them to communicate with each other. T. Kuhn, having approached the problem of disagreement closely, essentially gave a description of the inter-paradigm disagreements that fill the ocean of the history of science. As an example, T. Kuhn takes the one set out in his famous work “The Copernican Revolution”. L. Laudan, analyzing T. Kuhn’s view on the problem of scientific disagreements, sees the main postulates of Kuhn’s point of view as follows: the period of the scientific revolution includes competing paradigms, but the latter are “chronically incomplete” (T. Kuhn’s term), and this incompleteness is the result incommensurability of paradigms, although opponents sometimes use the same terminology. It is impossible to translate any of the competing paradigms into another. The model proposed by T. Kuhn has two central ideas: the idea of ​​disagreement (incommensurability) and the idea of ​​maintaining agreement (normal science), although T. Kuhn tries to explain the transition from “normal” science to “crisis”, the transition from agreement to disagreement. In his work “Perfect Tension” T. Kuhn showed that this impossibility of translation is explained and caused by the fact that opponents in the debate respect different methodological standards, different cognitive values. On this basis, it is concluded that knowledge used as an attribute of theory for the enemy acts as an obstacle to the substantiation of his point of view; the content of theories, standards of comparison act as a prerequisite for dissensus. Moreover, T. Kuhn was able to show that dialogue within different paradigms is incomplete due to adherence to different methodological standards, and therefore dissensus is a state of science that is difficult to translate into the stage of consensus, dissensus is a constant characteristic of the life of the scientific community. The model proposed by T. Kuhn is not able, however, to resolve the question: how the stage of dissensus passes into the opposite stage - the stage of agreement, how scientists accept a single paradigm.

Underdetermination of theory by empirical data. Scientific rules and evaluation criteria do not make it possible to clearly prefer one of the theories. Various arguments and theses are put forward to substantiate this point of view. Among the latter is the Duhem-Quine thesis, the essence of which is that a theory cannot be accepted or rejected based only on empirical evidence; the Wittgenstein-Goodman thesis, the meaning of which is that the rules of scientific inference (both inductive and deductive) are vague and can be followed in different ways, often radically incompatible. The criteria for choosing a theory used by scientists are also vague, which prevents their use when choosing a theory, and, therefore, science is not a sphere that is governed by rules, norms, and standards.

A special place in the philosophy of science of the 20th century. occupied by the concept of the American philosopher and historian of science Thomas Samuel Kuhn (1929-1996). In his famous book “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions,” Kuhn expressed a rather original idea of ​​​​the nature of science, the general laws of its functioning and progress, noting that “his goal is to outline, at least schematically, a completely different concept of science, which emerges from the historical approach to the study of scientific activity itself."

In contrast to the positivist tradition, Kuhn comes to the conviction that the path to the creation of a genuine theory of science lies through the study of the history of science, and its development itself does not proceed through a smooth accumulation of new knowledge on old, but through a radical transformation and change of leading ideas, i.e. through periodically occurring scientific revolutions.

New in Kuhn's interpretation of the scientific revolution is the concept of paradigm, which he defines as “universally recognized scientific achievements that, over time, provide the scientific community with a model for posing problems and their solutions.” In other words, a paradigm is a set of the most general ideas and methodological guidelines in science, recognized by the entire scientific community and guiding scientific research over a certain period of time. Examples of such theories are Aristotle's physics, Newton's mechanics and optics, Maxwell's electrodynamics, Einstein's theory of relativity and a number of other theories.

Paradigm, according to Kuhn, or, as he proposed to call it later, the “disciplinary matrix” has a certain structure.

Firstly, the structure of the paradigm includes “symbolic generalizations” - those expressions that are used by members of a scientific group without doubt or disagreement and which can be put into a logical form, easily formalized or expressed in words, for example: “elements are combined in constant mass proportions” or “action equals reaction.” These generalizations superficially resemble the laws of nature (for example, the Joule-Lenz law or Ohm's law).

Secondly, in the structure of the disciplinary matrix Kuhn includes “metaphysical parts of paradigms” - generally accepted prescriptions like “heat represents the kinetic energy of the parts that make up the body.” They, in his opinion, “supply the scientific group with preferred and acceptable analogies and metaphors and help determine what should be accepted as a solution to the puzzle and as an explanation. And, conversely, they allow you to clarify the list of unsolved puzzles, helping to assess the significance of each of them ".

Thirdly, the structure of the paradigm includes values, “and, if possible, these values ​​should be simple, not self-contradictory and plausible, i.e. compatible with other, parallel and independently developed theories... To a much greater extent than other types of components disciplinary matrix, values ​​can be common to people who at the same time apply them differently."

Fourthly, Kuhn’s element of the disciplinary matrix is ​​generally recognized “samples” - a set of generally accepted standards - schemes for solving certain specific problems. Thus, “all physicists begin by studying the same samples: problems—an inclined plane, a conical pendulum, Keplerian orbits; instruments—a vernier, a calorimeter, a Wheatstone bridge.” By mastering these classical examples, a scientist understands more deeply the foundations of his science, learns to apply them in specific situations and masters a special technique for studying those phenomena that form the subject of a given scientific discipline and become the basis of their activities during periods of “normal science.”

Closely related to the concept of paradigm concept of scientific community. In a sense, these concepts are synonymous. “A paradigm is what unites members of the scientific community, and, conversely, the scientific community is made up of people who accept the paradigm.” Representatives of the scientific community, as a rule, have a specific scientific specialty and have received similar education and professional skills. Each scientific community has its own subject of study. Most scientific researchers, according to Kuhn, immediately decide whether they belong to one or another scientific community, all members of which adhere to a certain paradigm. If you do not share faith in the paradigm, you remain outside the scientific community.

The concept of a scientific community after the publication of Kuhn’s book “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions” firmly entered into use in all areas of science, and science itself began to be thought of not as a system of knowledge, but primarily as the activity of scientific communities. However, Kuhn notes some shortcomings in the activities of scientific communities, because “since the attention of different scientific communities is concentrated on different subjects of research, professional communications between isolated scientific groups are sometimes difficult; the result is misunderstanding, and this can subsequently lead to significant and unforeseen differences.” . Representatives of different scientific communities often speak “different languages” and do not understand each other.

Considering the history of the development of science, Kuhn highlights, first of all, the pre-paradigm period, which, in his opinion, is characteristic of the birth of any science, before this science develops its first universally recognized theory, in other words, a paradigm. Pre-paradigm science is being replaced by mature science, which is characterized by the fact that at the moment there is no more than one paradigm in it. In its development, it goes through several stages in succession - from “normal science” (when the paradigm accepted by the scientific community dominates) to the period of collapse of the paradigm, called the scientific revolution.

"Normal science", from Kuhn's point of view, "means research firmly based on one or more past scientific achievements, which for some time has been accepted by a particular scientific community as the basis for its further practical activities." Scientists whose scientific activities are based on the same paradigms are based on the same rules and standards of scientific practice. This community of attitudes and the apparent coherence they provide are the prerequisites for the genesis of “normal science.”

Unlike Popper, who believed that scientists are constantly thinking about how to refute existing and recognized theories, and for this purpose strive to set up refuting experiments, Kuhn is convinced that “...scientists in the mainstream of normal science do not set themselves the goal of creating new theories, usually Moreover, they are intolerant of the creation of such theories by others. On the contrary, research in normal science is aimed at developing those phenomena and theories whose existence the paradigm obviously assumes."

Thus, “normal science” practically does not focus on major discoveries. It only ensures the continuity of traditions of one direction or another, accumulating information and clarifying known facts. "Normal science" appears to Kuhn as "solving puzzles." There is a sample solution, there are rules of the game, it is known that the problem is solvable, and the scientist has the opportunity to try his personal ingenuity under given conditions. This explains the attractiveness of normal science to the scientist. As long as puzzle solving is successful, the paradigm acts as a reliable tool of cognition. But it may well turn out that some puzzles, despite all the efforts of scientists, cannot be solved. Confidence in the paradigm is falling. A state sets in that Kuhn calls a crisis. By the growing crisis, he understands the constant inability of “normal science” to solve its puzzles to the extent that it should do so, and even more so the anomalies arising in science, which gives rise to pronounced professional uncertainty in the scientific community. Normal research freezes. Science essentially ceases to function.

The period of crisis ends only when one of the proposed hypotheses proves its ability to cope with existing problems, explain incomprehensible facts, and thanks to this attracts the majority of scientists to its side. Kuhn calls this change of paradigms, the transition to a new paradigm, a scientific revolution. “The transition from a paradigm in a period of crisis to a new paradigm from which a new tradition of “normal science” can be born is a process far from cumulative and not one that could be achieved through a more precise elaboration or expansion of the old paradigm. This process is rather reminiscent of a reconstruction of a field on new grounds, a reconstruction that modifies some of the field's most elementary theoretical generalizations and many of the methods and applications of the paradigm."

Each scientific revolution changes the existing picture of the world and discovers new patterns that cannot be understood within the framework of previous prescriptions. “Therefore,” Kuhn notes, “during a revolution, when the normal scientific tradition begins to change, the scientist must learn to perceive the world around him anew.” The Scientific Revolution significantly changes the historical perspective of research and influences the structure of scientific papers and textbooks. It affects the style of thinking and can, in its consequences, go beyond the scope of the area where it occurred.

Thus, the scientific revolution as a change of paradigms cannot be explained rationally, because the essence of the matter is in the professional well-being of the scientific community: either the community has the means to solve the puzzle, or it does not, and then the community creates them. The scientific revolution leads to the discarding of everything that was obtained at the previous stage; the work of science begins, as it were, anew, from scratch.

Kuhn's book aroused interest in the problem of explaining the mechanism of change of ideas in science, that is, essentially in the problem of the movement of scientific knowledge... it has largely stimulated and continues to stimulate research in this direction."

Reductionist and Popperian ideas about the dynamics of theories have been sharply criticized by American philosophers II. Feyerabend and T. Kuhn. At the same time, both proceeded from the thesis of incommensurability (English, incommensurability) theories, which they began to vigorously promote starting in 1962. 1 It is customary to talk about the Kuhn-Feyerabend thesis, but in essence for both authors it is not a thesis, i.e. not a proven position, but a metascientific principle that they sought to substantiate. The Kuhn-Feyerabend principle is still controversial to this day. T. Tsocharis and M. Psimopoulos called the philosophers in question “the worst enemies of science.” The main idea of ​​Kuhn and Feyerabend was to emphasize the fundamental difference between the concepts of any independent theories. They believed that this circumstance was not taken into account in the positivists' concept of cumulative knowledge, according to which knowledge is continuously increasing, excluding any intermittency. In subsequent years, Kuhn and Feyerabend repeatedly clarified their position, but disagreed with each other on many issues. Let us consider in more detail the argumentation of both authors of interest to us.

In our opinion, a successful reconstruction of Feyerabend’s views was carried out by the German researcher K. Getman. He lists Feyerabend's eight arguments:

  • 1. Replacement of theories is not always the result of falsification.
  • 2. Some theories are excluded only because their alternatives have appeared.
  • 3. Facts not described by them were discovered only thanks to alternative concepts.
  • 4. Once disproven theories, such as ancient atomism, may be unexpectedly revived.
  • 5. Strict requirements for refuting theories that contain anomalies are untenable.
  • 6. Some theories cannot be deduced from their predecessors.
  • 7. The empirical content of theories does not necessarily increase; it may also decrease.
  • 8. Theories often become productive due to ad-hoc adaptations, i.e. hypotheses invented to explain a particular case.

These arguments are precisely intended to justify the principle of incommensurability of theories.

Experts in Kuhn's theory point to his three main principles:

  • 1) replacement of problems and standards that determine the status of a scientific discipline;
  • 2) changing the concepts used to solve problems;
  • 3) the existence of scientists in various historically changing worlds 1.

with a friend. However, as P. Hoyningen-Huyn and E. Oberheim note, Kuhn and Feyerabend’s interpretation of the incommensurability of theories was often misunderstood. They were credited with denying the possibility of comparing theories. However, they recognized not only its possibility, but also its necessity.

English incommensurability translated into Russian in three ways: incommensurability, incomparability and disproportion. In accordance with the content of the works of Kuhn and Feyerabend, perhaps the best suitable term is disproportionality. The theories are disproportionate due to the differences in their concepts. But they, as Kuhn and Feyerabend recognized, are comparable. However, what is compared is, in some way, measured. This statement seems to clearly contradict the attitudes of the scientists in question. Nevertheless, it is appropriate. In this regard, let us refer to the positions of Feyerabend and Kuhn themselves.

According to Feyerabend, since theories are incommensurable, each of them is good in its own way. Incommensurable theories can be used for the purpose of "mutually criticizing" them. But how is “mutual criticism” of incommensurable theories possible? Feyerabend explained the situation with the following reasoning. Proposals of theories, e.g. T 1 And T 2, are associated with observation sentences 5. “Using the concepts introduced, we can now say that the empirical content of the theory G 2 is greater than the empirical content of the theory T ( , if for every associated statement in 7', there is some statement given by T 2, but not vice versa" 1. The above reasoning of Feyerabend is of key importance in assessing the correlation between the theories of G, and T 2. As it turns out, the empirical content of the theory T 2 more, than empirical content T ( . As we see, there is a commensurate. However, the mutual criticism of theories postulated by Feyerabend did not take place. In his example, scientific criticism acts as an interpretative vector T 2 => T and exclusive vector T,=>T 2.

Kuhn emphasized that the scientific community recognizes the characteristics of a good theory as accuracy, consistency, expansion of the original field of application, simplicity and fruitfulness. Conceding to the prevailing scientific opinion, he was partly ready to recognize these characteristics as objective criteria for choosing a good scientific theory. But, strictly speaking, Kuhn considered them not to be objective rules or criteria, but to be intersubjective values. Thus, Kuhn also denied the comparability and even a certain commensurability of theories. According to his concept, the theory that survives is the one that shows greater vitality in the competitive struggle.

Above we emphasized the well-known similarity between the positions of Kuhn and Feyerabend, which consists in relying on the principle of incommensurability of theories. Based on this, they nevertheless came to fundamentally different views regarding the dynamics of knowledge.

associated with the name of the French mathematician Poincaré - formulated at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, not a single concept of science can do without taking into account conventionalism. Conventionalism is a direction that considers agreement between scientists as the basis of scientific theory. Agreements between scientists are determined by considerations of convenience and simplicity and are not directly related to the criteria for the truth of scientific knowledge. The emergence of conventionalism was facilitated by the existence of various systems of geometry: Euclid, Lobachevsky and Riemann. Each of the systems is consistent with experience, but which is the true one? Within the framework of conventionalism, the following answer was proposed: they came to the conclusion that the laws of geometry are not statements about the real world, but are only agreements on how to use scientific terms. Within the framework of conventionalism, the concept of scientific law is being rethought. A scientific law from the point of view of conventionalism is a convention (agreement) necessary for the most convenient description of the relevant phenomena. Within the framework of conventionalism, it was thus realized that scientific theories are not direct generalizations of experimental data. And in this sense, such conventional elements cannot be eliminated from science. In addition, within the framework of conventionalism, the thesis about the incommensurability of scientific theories is formulated. From the point of view of this thesis, all scientific theories use different methods, and therefore their comparison (more precisely, rational comparison) is impossible. A scientist chooses a particular scientific theory not because he is convinced by rational arguments. The choice of scientific theory is carried out on the basis of ideological and socio-psychological preferences.

The principle of incommensurability, which states that theories cannot be compared with each other, from the point of view of the truth of scientific knowledge.

Feyerabend believes that the creation of clear universal standards in separating true knowledge from false knowledge is artificial and has a detrimental effect on the development of knowledge.

This principle echoes the principle of incommensurability of paradigms by Thomas Kuhn (it is revealed in T. Kuhn’s work “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions”) Scientific textbooks present the development of science as a linear process of accumulation of knowledge and a consistent transition from weak or erroneous theories to more and more complete and true ones. In fact, Kuhn argues, the history of science is a more complex system. In his opinion, in the history of science there are a number of successive changes in scientific paradigms that the scientific community adheres to. A paradigm is a certain “philosophy” shared by scientists, a certain approach to scientific research, a general set of symbolic designations, etc.

Science can be in two “states”: the “period of normal science” - when an established paradigm is developing, solutions to problems are sought within the framework of this paradigm, or the period of “scientific revolution” - when the old paradigm is becoming obsolete and a new paradigm is being chosen from the many proposed approaches. During the period of “normal science,” theories can be compared with each other in terms of their suitability for solving the problems posed by the paradigm. However, different paradigms are not comparable with each other.

Unlike Kuhn, Feyerabend does not admit at all that there are any criteria for comparing theories or a point in time when they can be compared. Kuhn's two “states” of science are for Feyerabend only two opposing tendencies - towards conservation and change. In his opinion, micro-revolutions in science occur constantly, namely, when some brave scientist decides to move away from the old proven methods of scientific research or creates a theory that is absolutely incompatible with the old ones and opens up new horizons of knowledge.

Thus, there are no rules by which one can separate true knowledge from false knowledge or find out which theory is better or worse. Developing this idea, Feyerabend comes to the conclusion that it cannot be argued that scientific knowledge is more correct and valid than religious or mythological knowledge. They are equal ways of understanding reality, and rejecting any of them will be a loss, not a gain.
