The Rationality of Science - a Never-ending Issue

100%
EN
The rationality of science cannot be solely restricted to methodological issues. It has to relate to the broader philosophical dimension. According to Kant's idea, philosophy representing universal concerns of the human mind, has to unite its universality with the rationality of scientific cognition. In this mutual relationship between philosophy and science, Kant's concept of regulative ideas plays a vital role.

The study deals with the ideas of the Russian scientist V. I. Vernadsky. We investigate how the thesis of scientific thinking as a planetary phenomenon led him to formulate the concept of noosphere. We analyse the concept of noosphere proposed by him in the form of a transformed biosphere. We analyse Vernadsky’s understanding of the categories of reason, as well as the scientific thinking and elaboration of Vernadsky’s ideas by his Russian successors Moiseev, Ursul and critics. In the conclusion, we outline the realism of the concept of noosphere in the context of current developments.

The paper deals with the status of ethics as a humanistic discipline within the contexts of contemporary technology civilization. The topicality of searching for the answer to the about mentioned question follows from the diversity of approaches to the substance as well as the character of humanistic point of view which is influenced by the so-called conflict of the two cultures, unfixing the justness of scientific status of humanistic cognition and understanding ethics as a separate scientific discipline. The authoress also points to the influence of technology on the specific character of creating the conception of universe and humankind, especially within the tendency of the one-sided approach towards universe and humankind, as well as overestimation of the pragmatic reality, effectiveness and pure calculus. The task of humanities in this context is determined by the need of completing 'techné' with the practical wisdom and understanding valuable coherences of the modern world. Nowadays, in confrontation with pluralism and the diversity of approaches towards understanding the substance of ethics, she emphasizes that this trend does not mean the absolute subjectivism and negation of the right of ethics to exist as a theoretical discipline. The authoress also pays attention to the individual forms of this diversity and underlines the importance of ethics of values. She votes for understanding of ethics as a „practical philosophy“, the main task of which is to stimulate individual thinking concerning human society and universe leading to responsible and willful actions.

Based on a critical analysis of a specific theory of knowledge course, Gábor Zemplén has identified several barriers frustrating efforts to support critical thinking in science education. He proposes three strategies of how to bolster up critical thinking skills in teaching science-oriented courses. One of them is to implement the pragma-dialectical theory of argumentation in classes. The paper calls attention to three implicit assumptions behind the Zemplén’s proposal, subjects them to internal criticism, and argues that they cannot be reconciled with each other. By criticizing them externally, the paper aims to show that it is not apposite to explain or model scientific cognition by the pragma-dialectical theory of argumentation.
