Abstract:
The subject of the study is the heuristic potential of the theoretical construct of the “epistemological frontier”, which describes the state of scientific knowledge in the context of methodological pluralism. The post-non-classical stage in the development of science is characterized by the coexistence of concepts about the object, formulated in various paradigms and based on different theoretical approaches. The culture of scientific communication, as an area of creation, preservation and development of scientific knowledge, which is the object of our attention, is significantly expanding, including different epistemological traditions. Therefore, there is a methodological need to include in the orbit of theoretical attention the area of scientific knowledge formed between two or more concepts that are not reducible to a common dialectical basis. The purpose of the article is to reveal the descriptive and heuristic potential of the “epistemological frontier” construct for studying the event horizon between the extreme values of the cosmological foundations of scientific creativity designated by P. Feyerabend (Aristotelian and modern, post-Copernian). To achieve this within the framework of philosophical and analytical methodology, the author solves two scientific and cognitive problems: formalizes the construct of “epistemological frontier” and examines its applicability for understanding Feyerabend's philosophy. The theoretical construct of “epistemological frontier” proposed by the author certainly requires further theoretical criticism, including clarification of the limits of its application. Its heuristic potential lies primarily in the fact that it can be used to record the simultaneous validity and truth of contradictory provisions formulated on the basis of various theoretical positions: the multidimensionality of truth, even if it is paradoxical, is thus no longer a sign of the falsity of one of the judgments. The coexistence of contradictory truths is becoming the norm, especially in the field of social and humanitarian sciences.

Abstract:
The subject of the research is the psychologization of the unconscious as a consequence of the anthropological turn. Psychologization is considered on the example of German post-Hegelian theism, French spiritualism, Russian religious philosophy, which are an integral part of the religious philosophy of the XIX - first half of the XX century. The anthropological turn is interpreted in the spirit of Heidegger's philosophy - as a transition of metaphysics into anthropology, of the ontological I into the psychological. The method of historical and philosophical reconstruction allowed conceptually refining the definition of the unconscious, and retrospectively substantiating three models of the unconscious. Using retrospective and comparative methods, the problem of the unconscious is studied and its solutions in the religious philosophy of the XIX - first half of the XX century are compared. The problem of psychologization of the unconscious in the historical and philosophical context as a consequence of the anthropological turn is considered by the author using the example of religious philosophy of the XIX – first half of the XX century; the models of the unconscious are retrospectively substantiated. In addition, the reflection of the teaching on the unconscious of European theists and spiritualists in Russian religious philosophy is studied. It is shown that in the historical and philosophical perspective, there are three models of the unconscious. The views of European theists and spiritualists on the problem of the unconscious influenced representatives of Russian religious-philosophical thought. Psychologization of the unconscious is connected with the anthropological turn, it became possible as a result of giving the I an individual-substantial character.
