Evolutional Epistemology and Evolutional Constructivism as Cognitive Practices of the Modern Science

Abstract

In the paper the cognitive apparatus of the modern science is observed. An approach to cognition of complex, self-developing systems as an object of the modern science resulted in necessity of reasoning of their cognition specifics. The authors focus on the following questions: how historical, temporal and sociocultural parameters may be inserted to the epistemology; how the category of truth and objectivity of scientific knowledge may be rethought in light of understanding cognition as interpretative activity with the insertion of constructivist ideas? It is highlighted that evolutional constructivism and evolutional epistemology are the most adequate epistemological practices for cognition of complex, self-developing systems, explanation of the existence and evolutional processes.
