Interrelation of Scientific Truth and Values in Modern Scientific Knowledge
Journal Title: Вісник Житомирського державного університету імені Івана Франка - Year 2018, Vol 84, Issue 1
Abstract
The article analyzes the relation "truth - value" within the cognitive approach to scientific knowledge. At the same time, the emphasis is on those transformations that took place at the end of the XX - the beginning of the XXI century. In the XX century the classical ideal of scientific truth and scientistic ideological orientation were influenced by a number of factors - philosophical and anthropological, epistemological and sociocultural. Changing perceptions of reality and ways of its knowledge about the possibility of achieving objective and reliable scientific knowledge had an impact not only on the classic ideal of truth, but also shook the correspondence theory. New philosophical and socio-cultural changes have become the stimulus for a reappraisal of the status of scientific truth and led to discussions about the positions of scientism. Such prerequisites have led to the fact that along with the correspondence theory of truth at the end of the XX - the beginning of the XXI century interest in others grew, namely: coherent, pragmatist, conventionalist, semantic. Today, for the natural sciences, the correspondence concept of truth remains a priority. At the same time, in certain situations of natural science knowledge (first of all, when substantiating highly abstract theoretical systems), the coherent concept of truth becomes a more adequate one, which reduces the problem of truth to the criterion of self-coherence, or inconsistency.
