INTEGRATIVE CONCEPTS OF 20TH CENTURY SCIENCE
INTEGRATIVE CONCEPTS OF 20TH CENTURY SCIENCE

Summary/Abstract: The study undelines the features and the integrative concepts to discuss the 20th century that was the pinnacle of modernity, but also marked a crisis of scientism that ushered in an era of deconstructive transition also known as postmodernity. During the century in question, science and philosophy experienced a particular development, with most significant twists and turns. In the 20th century cognition in general and science in particular became the focus of thought and creation, technological achievements and technocratic determinations being themselves the object of investigation for philosophers, economists, politicians, socio-psychologists. Modernity, with its propensity forscience and logic, is likely to be replaced by postmodernity, which also starts from scientific knowledge, but seeks to reform it, most likely, shaping a new scientific revolution in the area of communication science, cognition and computers.
