Становление и трансформация идеалов и норм научного поиска в контексте общественного прогресса

Abstract

Scientific activity draws ideals and norms from socio-historical practice. Historically, science is associated with the development of culture, in which science acts as one of the activities for acquiring knowledge about the world and the person in it. Scientific knowledge interacts with other segments of culture, with other types of non-scientific knowledge. The ideological picture of each epoch formed by the whole system of knowledge becomes the basis for scientific ideas. The ideals and norms of a certain stage of culture, one way or another, are embodied in the parameters of scientific research. On the basis of a retrospective, the article examines the existing and probable directions of development and search for ideals and norms of scientific knowledge. As a hypothetical assumption, a proposal was made to include reasonable forces that surpass human culture in the modern scientific picture of the world. After all, latently this is already contained in the form of the anthropic principle, the idea of the unlimited development of scientific knowledge, the doctrine of social progress. However, such a piece of scientific knowledge should not be developed on the basis of traditional religious ideas. A similar picture of the world is being developed in the scientific developments of domestic and foreign scientists, the CETI project.
