NON-CLASSICAL AND POST-NON-CLASSICAL SCIENCE: EPISTEMOLOGICAL FEATURES IN DIGITAL CONDITIONS

Abstract

The article examines the philosophical meaning of non-classical and post-non-classical science through the prism of the interaction of scientific rationality and the sociocultural environment. Based on comparative analysis, the role of post-non-classical rationality in the formation of scientific knowledge and the acquisition of new knowledge through ideals and norms is analyzed.
It is shown that significant epistemological and methodological differences between non-classical and post-non-classical rationalities bring serious innovation to the content and structure of scientific knowledge. This feature in the digital cultural environment becomes more extensive, and from the point of view of interaction in science, it is clearly expressed. The article argues that the acquisition of knowledge in post-non-classical science is a complex cognitive process in a digital environment. At the same time, it is shown that the sociocultural context is of fundamental importance for post-non-classical science. The unity of these two aspects determines the way of obtaining knowledge at the present stage, its functionality and differences from
other types of knowledge. In this context, the actualization of pluralism, openness and dynamism of scientific knowledge is justified. The scientific goal is to conduct a philosophical and epistemological analysis of the formation of knowledge and the acquisition of new knowledge in post-non-classical science in the digital environment. For this purpose, an interdisciplinary approach is used as a methodology. In this framework, nonlinearity, intersubjectivity and synergetic synthesis were chosen as methodological principles. The method used was systems research and synergetic interaction. Scientific novelty lies in substantiating the interaction of the cognitive aspect with the sociocultural aspect of acquiring knowledge in the digital environment, taking on new content and form. At this time, the thesis is put forward that humanitarianism is of strategic importance for every scientific direction.
