Методология теоретических исследовательских программ: сравнительные преимущества для анализа динамики научного знания
Социология: методология, методы, математическое моделирование. 2015. № 40. С. 114–140.
The paper discusses some issues of selection, comparison and evaluation of relevant methodology for scientific knowledge dynamics analysis. Postpositivist metatheoretical discourse within sociological theory has been predominantly concerned with contrasting approaches to science studies? developed by Kuhn and Lakatos with some sociological projects (Mullins, Bloor, Foucault) . "Theoretical research programs" methodology suggested/elaborated by Berger, Zelditch and Wagner provides us with many benefits and advanced features instrumental demonstration of which can be demonstrated when applied to a history of sociology of science. "Theoretical research programs" methodology responds to questions of theory evaluation, way they are clustering, social and rational aspects of their development and indicators/empirical evidence of theory progress.

We use interfaces to disconnect from the situation around us, from the persistent experience of the outside world, from our neighbors. It is this ability of interfaces to legitimize “absence” that is usually overlooked in their analysis, as the emphasis is on concentration, management, and control. In reality, interfaces are not so much pragmatic and ...

Статья посвящена анализу образовательной деятельности университетских музеев России. Актуальность исследования обусловлена противоречием между высоким
образовательным потенциалом музеев и фрагментарностью его реализации, а также отсутствием в литературе системного анализа условий интеграции музеев в учебный процесс высшей школы. Несмотря на признание музеев важными центрами сохранения наследия и популяризации науки, вопрос об их реальной включённости в повседневную образовательную жизнь

При всей кажущейся ясности и недвусмысленности понятия «свобода» дать ему исчерпывающую научную дефиницию весьма затруднительно. У каждой отрасли знания свой подход к трактовке этого многоаспектного понятия. В ходе обсуждения, материалы которого вошли в настоящий сборник, свобода рассматривается с позиций философии, социологии, юриспруденции, психологии, нейрофизиологии и т.д.
Участники дискуссии рассуждают о границах свободы воли и субъектности человека, о соотношении свободы и ...

This open access book provides a method for philosophical problem solving, offering philosophers the tools to stay ahead of machine intelligence. Louis Vervoort argues that, with ultra-intelligent AI knocking at the door, philosophy can no longer rely solely on its ancient methodological toolkit. The proposed method is essentially the same as used in natural science, ...

New Victory Day’s celebration practices, mostly St. George’s ribbons and The Immortal
Regiment marches, are explained by dynamics of macrosociological variances.
Main structural elements of Victory Day celebrations during Soviet period were:
(1) distinctive role of veterans as the “carrier group” for festive scenario and values;
(2) combination of public rituals and family memory, patriotic solidarity and
commemoration of tragedy.

This article reconstructs the theoretical logic underlying the "Soviet Man" research project by Yuri Levada's group. Based on the project's publications, it reconstructs an "early" model, which includes a set of attitudes toward the "antinomies" of the Soviet system, and a later model, which emphasizes a set of adaptive characteristics ("adapted," "two-faced," etc.). It elucidates the empirical ...

The article continues the discussion of Grigory Yudin’s book 'Public Opinion'. The review considers Yudin’s arguments on the “plebiscitarian bias” in opinion-poll technology, on the linkages between opinion-polls, Rousseauist tradition and the “plebiscitarian model”, and on Gallup’s, Schumpeter’s, and Weber’s contributions to plebiscitarism. In the context of the proposed conceptual model, controversial issues in the interpretation of Weber’s and ...

Sociological texts on zombies are mostly interested in human problems (capitalism, pop culture, etc), not in zombies as such. Zombies as a specific form of (non) life remain a blindspot for sociologists. Scientists of other disciplines, like epidemiology and neurosciences, have already declared their ways for studying zombies. Our task is to outline the concepts ...

Socio‑humanitarian knowledge helps to master the social norms and values of Russian civilization. Each module of social studies is linked to a specific sphere of human social life, to activities aimed at fulfilling a person’s spiritual needs and social interests.

Механизм происходящих в мире изменений носит эволюционный, а не экологический характер. Иначе говоря, Человечество столкнулось с кризисом развития, который имеет три независимые составляющие: кризис индустриального общества (фазовый кризис), кризис научного мышления (эпистемный кризис) и кризис формата существования разума (социосистемный кризис). Доклад посвящён аспектам этого триединого кризиса и возможным путям его преодоления, не сводящимся к первичному ...

The spheres of the miraculous and monstrous are older than science, and perhaps even older than conceptual language. They belong to the reality of metaphors, or even deep emotions, therefore, in relation to science, their use, at first glance, seems evaluative and superfluous, because they do not refer to specific objects, labels and categories, but ...

AI literally comes to us from the future, not because it exists in some distant temporal reality, but because we, by attempting to construct an expected future through the experiences and affections evoked in us by the idea of AI, are unwittingly creating the conditions for the future's sudden arrival.

The digital today constitutes an environment of affects: it touches, enchants, captivates, incites, and frightens. What it does not do, however, is provide knowledge; rather, it takes knowledge away. Previously, the subject of cognition was the human being, though cognition itself was largely grounded in institutions, social contacts, performative rituals, and the activity of human-scale ...

Nature as an image defines scientific, artistic, and technical discourse - various philosophical programs postulated overcoming nature, transforming nature, and reconciling with nature; today, all this diversity of discourses combines graphical and technical interfaces that constitute the experience of digital reality and increasingly identify it with the world of life.

We offer the first systematic cross-national analysis of this phenomenon from 1791 to 2019. We show that the absence of leadership is real but older and more modest than claimed: the share ...
