THE COGNITIVE STRATEGY OF POST-NEOCLASSICAL PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY

Abstract

INTRODUCTION The idea of inter-paradigm synthesis in the philosophy of history is still new and has not received a thorough justification in the scientific literature. Its setting can be found in some papers that discuss aspects of interdisciplinarity in historical science and the problems of historiographic synthesis. In this regard, its needed to highlight the works of the classics of French historical school “Annals” and A.Ya. Gurevich, O.M. Medushevskoyi, L.P. Repinoi, J. Tosha and some other authors. They lay the foundations of interdisciplinary cooperation in the field of social and humanitarian cognition (J. Tosh), discussing the topic of “historical synthesis” (A.Ya. Gurevich), “bridges” are built between traditional historiography and the latest epistemological “calls” of the philosophy of postmodernism (L.P. Repina). However, in whole, the question of whether it is possible, in the context of methodological pluralism, to reduce different cognitive practices to some discursive types or models, as well as to distinguish between each of them the standards of science inherent in each of them.
