Логика философского творчества

Abstract

The article traces the main formation and evolution stages of conceptual ideas by Vyacheslav S. Stepin in philosophy and methodology of science, epistemology, philosophical anthropology, and social philosophy. The logic of this evolution is incorporated in the general logic of methodological development – from the analysis of inner dynamic features of science to the exposure of socio-cultural determinative mechanisms, and to the conception of culture-involved science. The article emphasizes Vyacheslav Stepin’s innovations in these problem fields.
