On the Advantage of the Physics’ and Lyrics’ Cooperation: Usage of the Exact and Natural Sciences’ Conceptions in Social and Humanitarian Knowledge
Abstract
The study reviews particular conceptions of natural and exact sciences which had a significant impact on social and humanitarian knowledge primarily on philosophy: the theories of sets, heterarchy, cybernetic approach and others. G. Bateson’s cybernetic or systems theory allows more comprehensive understanding of religious phenomena and the Pentecostal expansion in Brasilia among others in the context of all relevant areas taking into account their interconnections and mutual influence. The heterarchy conception allowed to I.V. Krasavin to solve the problem in general intellect theory of the Italian post-operaisms (M. Lazzarato, A. Negri, P. Virno, M. Pasquinelli, C. Vercellone, T. Terranova and ect) and conclude that it’s equally able as to liberate the society of the exploitation as to be appropriated by the society of control. The reverse of conceptions, usage of connectionism although criticized for the excessive simplifications, in the philosophy of brain and pedagogy gives the possibility to improve the methods of teaching increasing its efficiency. The natural sciences’ conceptions, the quantum physics for example, are applied in the philosophy of mind. Following W.V.O. Quine the representatives of the analytic philosophy more often propose to naturalize the discipline due to the natural sciences achievements. Although the undue tendency for formalization can divert from meaning as in F. Salis’ dealing with the problem of the literature characters’ narcissism. The application of a priory developed mathematical models trying to fit phenomena into them often harm philosophy. The mathematical formalization of the «second law of criminal behavior» suggested by the Norwegian forensic psychiatrist and psychoanalyst D. Abrahamsen seems to be not only meaningless but also ethically unacceptable. Bringing methodology of other disciplines designed for practical results and really “working” to science allows take a fresh look at the problem, covering it wider and from new angles.
