«КОЛЛЕКТИВИСТСКИЙ ПОВОРОТ» В СОВРЕМЕННОЙ ФИЛОСОФИИ НАУКИ
The article is devoted to the phenomenon of the “collectivist turn”, a complex shift in the methodology and conceptual framework of the philosophy of science. The “collectivist turn” refers to the tendency in the humanities to study the activities of collective agents, which arose as a result of two turns: social and practical. The first of these is the result of the intervention of sociologists and social scientists in scientific cognition, which has led to the emergence of various fields of research in science and technology (sociology of scientific knowledge, social epistemology, STS, historical philosophy of science). The practical turn initially appeared in various projects of empirical research of scientific knowledge, but its influence has also spread to the methodology of the social sciences. It remains especially important to emphasize the fundamental connection between social and practical turns, the complex effect of which resulted in a collectivist view of the nature of scientific knowledge. The essence of this “collectivism” is not only to affirm the collect ive subject of scientific knowledge, but also to point out the “pract icality” of science, its connection with the specific activities of scientists observed in the outside world. The “collectivist turn” makes it possible to take into account the multitude of disparate voices in modern philosophy of science, adopting the developments of empirical STS researchers, critical social epistemology, social philosophy of science, and sociology of scientific knowledge. It is shown that the optics of “science as a social practice” highlights new aspects of the philosophy of science, including cultural, historical, social and political factors of constructing scientific facts. The ambiguity of the phenomenon of “collectivity” in various traditions of the philosophy of science is also traced.
