INDIRECT COGNITION IN CREATIVE HERITAGE OF S. A. SHEYFER

Abstract

The article analyses the contribution of S. A. Sheyfer to the development of criminal procedure exercises on proof, cognition and investigative actions. The phenomenon of indirect cognition in the structure of criminal procedure proving is considered. The author, when analyzing this form of cognition, relies on an instrumental approach to understanding mediated cognition of meaningful information. The article discusses whether the judicial examination is an investigative action. It is justified that during the forensic examination the investigator carries out cognitive operations through a judicial expert. It is shown that not only the actions of the investigator are included in the structure of the investigative action the appointment and production of judicial examination, but also the research carried out by the judicial expert is also carried out in criminal procedure. During the study, the expert implements his criminal procedure status by entering into appropriate legal relations with the investigator. The author polemizes with scientists who deny that the judicial examination has the properties of an investigative action.
