Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the specifics of trends in the development of modern epistemology and the peculiarities of the methodology of sociohumanitarian cognition in the context of determining the values and priorities of society. The problems of social epistemology are revealed, the depth of this issue, its openness to further research is shown. It is proved that the context of social epistemology helps to look in a new way at the fundamental values for society, at the theoretical and practical issues of social conditionality of cognition and knowledge. An overview of its basic concepts and problems is given, an analysis of the relations of social epistemology with other social sciences and humanities is made, examples of its application in situational research are demonstrated, its theoretical origins and a number of the most important discussions are reconstructed. The contribution that makes this direction to modern philosophy is shown. The theoretical significance of social epistemology is determined by the central role of society in the process of knowledge formation. Its practical importance is due to its possible role in the restructuring of social institutions focused on the storage, processing and production of information. The analysis shows that the methodology of social cognition should be based on the principles of objectivity, unity of logical and historical, social theory and practice.
