Abstract

Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The works of T. Kuhn, I. Lakatos, K. Popper, B. Russell, P. Feyerabend, and others are devoted to the study of modes of scientific and non-scientific knowledge. Among Ukrainian researchers, it is worth mentioning I. Zagriichuk, S. Krymsky, M. Popovych, L. Drotyanko, I. Chornomordenko. The research objective. Turning to non-scientific knowledge in the challenges of technological modernity presupposes the following tasks: to investigate non-scientific knowledge in the context of the opposition “Science-Humanity’s”; to reveal the meaning of non-scientific knowledge as a condition for preventing the monologism of science; determine the relationship between scientific and non-scientific knowledge as an opportunity to create a single integrated platform that overcomes the discontinuity / dualism of two cultures, thereby actualizing the internal potential for the development of humanity as a world community The statement of basic materials. The article is devoted to the study of the problem of scientific and non-scientific knowledge, which is fundamentally related to the understanding of the possible horizons of human activity, which appears as a result of the latter’s self-development. Modern civilization, as a technological one, has not resolved the conflict between scientific and technical development and the value system, which gives rise to a multitude of contradictions, one of which is the “lagging behind” of the humanitarian component from the intensive development of the technological component.
