Moderni preokret u shvatanju znanja
Modern Turn in the Understanding of Knowledge

Summary/Abstract: The beginning of the modern period was characterized by the revolution in the sciences, which yet had begun to be considered as the privileged form of knowledge. Theory and contemplation, which have been considered as the superior form of knowledge and as the favored way of admission to truth during the classical and medieval period, from that moment on began to renounce their place to the applied knowledge that required the experimental confirmation. It was expected that the new scientific criteria, which from now on had the technological profile, could help man to subdue the nature. However, the effort to reach the knowledge that would be deprived from the weakness of subjectivity, finally, created the science that began to neglect the variety of interests of the subject. Moreover, contemporary science entered the period of crisis as soon as had become aware of the fact that the wished objectivity is in fact only one relativity of the technical rationality, which reduced human reality to the universe of calculable processes.
