The Study of Human Activity: Inverse Analysis in the Context of Post-Non-Classical Rationality

Abstract

Postnonclassical rationality involves the study of self-developing systems. Self-development means passing certain aromorphoses. The inversive analysis can be applied to studies of such aromorphoses (phase transitions) in the systems. Inversion is a change of the direction in the vector relations to the opposite, while preserving its formal structure. In the course of aromorphosis the system acquires new hierarchical levels. The article shows that these new levels earlier were exercising subordinate functions. However some new form of inverse relations was founded within them, which led to their transition to the fi rst place in the hierarchy. Hence, new higher (suprematist) levels appear in the system, ensuring its development. This new form of development was demonstrated by the example of the system of human activity.
