Концепция когнитивной истории Ольги Михайловны Медушевской: итоги/перспективы
The concept of cognitive history by O. M. Medushevskaya (1922-2007) is analyzed in the context of the historical culture of the 2010s-2020s. The relevance of the work is due to the need to establish the concept of history as a rigorous science in the context of renarrativization – a trend of modern historical culture, accompanied by a deepening gap between historical science and socially oriented historiography. The novelty of the work lies in the consideration of the neoclassical model of historical science at the junction of two historical cultures, in the situation of a sharp transformation of historical culture from postmodern to postpostmodern/ The problem of the study is to determine the place of the concept of cognitive history in the context of modern historical culture. The aim of the study is to explicate the factors of the lack of demand for the concept of cognitive history with the undoubted relevance of the neoclassical model of historical cognition in the situation of overcoming the postmodern paradigm. The objectives of the work are to consider the concept of cognitive history in two perspectives: as the completion of more than a century-old tradition of the development of the phenomenological structural concept of source studies, dating back to the Russian version of neo-Kantianism (A.S. Lappo-Danilevsky), and from the point of view of its further prospects in the social knowledge of the XXI century. Special attention is paid to the immanent properties of the basic concept of cognitive history “empirical reality of the historical world”, which completes the transformation of the object of source studies from a historical source through a system of types of historical sources to a macro-object of historical cognition, which gives the empirical basis of history as a rigorous science. The work is carried out in the methodology of cognitive history based on the phenomenological concept of source studies of the historiography and the concept of “historical culture”, formed in the problem field of intellectual history. As a result of the research, the factors preventing the spread of the theory are identified both in the field of historical culture and immanent to the concept itself. The directions of further development of the concept are proposed – adjustment of the configuration of its conjugacy with the actual historical culture, the basic factor of which is the process of renarrativization. Attention is focused on the phenomenological component of the concept of “empirical reality of the historical world” and on its immanent structure, interpreted in source studies as a problem of classification of historical sources.
