Belyaev, V. A. Logic and Methodology in Terms of the Dialectics of Modernity. Part 1

Abstract: The reason for writing this article was the reading of S. M. Rozin’s “Logic and methodology: From “Analyst” of Aristotle to the “Logical-philosophical treatise” of L. Wittgenstein”. The article is written as a detailed analytical review to this book. The main theme of the latter is the methodology coming from the Moscow methodological circle. Rozin involved in the expression and justification of “methodological position” as “thinking about thinking”. To do this, he examines in detail the contexts of European traditions (and their characters), which finds significant for understanding the methodology of the moments of occurrence of “thinking about thinking”. Framework of Rozin’s theory has the place of birth of methodology in modern dance. But Rosin’s theory is not the theory of modernity, this is the theory that would link the logic of modernity and the logic of the methodology. This affects the content of his conversation with a different kind of “amethodology”: “ones”, “scientists”, “phanomenologie”, “worldly esoteric”. Methodology in this conversation can’t go with the lines of the opposition itself, as a philosophical position, other positions. The author’s suggestion is to get to talk about the relationship between philosophical positions and socio-cultural systems. In this case, we must construct a theory of modernity as development and implementation in the form of socio-cultural systems of a certain ideological strategy. The modern appears strategic adversaries and allies. The methodology will have to take a place among the allies and will be able to speak in the name of modernity. So we will be able to develop a specific theory of modernity, and certain communication methodology with modern. An important point in this development should be a “dialectics of modernity” as its accentuation on different (and opposite) principles. Because the methodology can be seen as a dialectical scheme of the endless open world, this scheme should be seen as a basic circuit of modernism at a certain phase of its deployment. The development of these and other important topics related to modernism and methodology constitutes the content of the article.
