The Paradigm of contemporary science and changes in philosophical theories

Abstract

In the contemporary world, with the processes of social development gaining at an accelerated rate, a new philosophical image of the world emerges, accompanied by the formation of a new philosophy. It is no longer possible to study society solely in terms of logic and morals considering it only as a subject to be studied. There is a pressing need to understand most urgent the truth in contemporary social cognition, namely, that new problems require new means of research and that those new tools of cognition must be "forged". The complicated, self-developing systems such as society and man cannot be rendered in static categories. The basic theoretical principle of contemporary philosophy is to analyze both the present state of reality and its reflection in the concepts not as a stiff static structure, but as a process. Philosophy will recover, when it creates a new network of conceptions and applies new methods of cognition. It can develop by reconsidering the problems of order and disorder, complexity and simplicity, evolution, truth and error, etc. Contemporary philosophy is understood as conforming to the new paradigm of science.
