О многомерности научной рациональности и научного прогресса
addressing the question whether there is anything new that we
can get from the methodology of interdisciplinarity and trans-
disciplinarity for determination of scientific rationality and sci-
entific progress. The solution of this question is connected with
the intensions of a historical and social-cultural epistemologies.
These intentions consist in a complex or “multidimensional” ap-
proach to the creation of conceptual designs that define the ap-
plication of these concepts. None of the “measurements”
(methodological, psychological, social, etc.) provides them with
a universal definition, but a “stereometric” image “restored”
from them is capable to approximate to real use of these con-
cepts of an epistemology and philosophy of science. It is neces-
sary to remember that progress in science in one dimension
can be regression in another just as the scientific rationality
in a sociological dimension can be in no correspondence with
the interpretation of rationality given to it by a certain method-
ological conception. Philosophy of science must avoid a dog-
matic universalization of the criteria of rationality as well as
the extremes of of relativism in this question.
