On The Mismatch Between The Form and Content of Modern Science in The Era of Digital Capitalism

Abstract

Importance. The text is devoted to presenting the author's vision of the solution to a topical problem for modern social sciences – the representation of the dialectics of being of "transformed" forms based on the mismatch of form and content of science in the era of digital capitalism. Objectives. The research purpose is to investigate and systematize the main aspects of the theory of "transformed" forms in relation to science in the epoch of digital capitalism development which is based on the dissonance of form and content. Methods. The presented research is based on the cognitive potential of the dialectical method, the method of ascent from the abstract to the concrete, supplemented by some elements of the formational approach, which allowed to qualitatively determine and fix the systemic features and contradictions between the form and content of the modern sphere of science, as applied to the phase of being of digital capitalism.Results. The system of arguments that the contradictions between the form and content of the modern science sphere are nothing but a dialectical contradiction between the real and "transformed" form is given in the paper. In addition, the notions of "transformed" form and the "age of digital capitalism" are specified in relation to the stated subject of research. The main forms of "transformations" in the system of economic relations, as applied to the period of digital capitalism, are shown. Conclusions and Importance. The conclusion of the presented research systematizes the main results in relation to the solution of the stated goal, which in the future may become the scientific and methodological basis for subsequent research work on the evolution of complex weakly structured quasiobjects and macrosystems.
