Философия как мечта о будущем
In article the project of "synthesis philosophy" offered by M.N. Epstein is
considered. The purpose of the project is in giving philosophies an innova-
tive impulse, to save it from tautological infertility, to give it the status of
the active participant informative (first of all research) processes. For this
purpose it is necessary to redirect the main methodological installation of
philosophy – "from the analysis to synthesis". It is not only about "analyti-
cal philosophy", but about all range of the philosophical directions. The
method of "synthesis" allows a set of interpretations: from synthesis of con-
cepts before the synthesis of philosophical and scientific concepts taking
place in a cross-disciplinary research of difficult, multiple-factor processes.
In most cases the methodology of synthesis appears as transition, usual for
science, from initial abstractions to concrete explanations which receives
the generalized description and conceptualization. The problem consists in
that how far there can be such generalization. The forecast about approach
of such stage in development of philosophy when she acts as the supplier of
alternative ontologies for various scientific pictures of the world, can be un-
derstood as the romantic dream bringing in the academic discussions about
the place of philosophy in culture live feeling and sympathy.
