Specificity of psychological research object in modern paradigm of post-nonclassical rationality
The article reveals the features of post-non-classical rationality as a modern paradigm of scientific psychological knowledge. Key characteristics include overreflexivity and cognitive complexity, legalization of subjective experience, situational determinism, some “underconceptualization” of concepts, tolerance, interdisciplinarity and communicative ability, priority of interpretations and interpretations, the multiplicity of types of methodological analysis. The markers of the subject of psychology and psychological research are presented in the framework of the paradigm of post-nonclassical rationality. Overcoming the crisis of modern psychology is associated with a tendency to build an integrative approach to comprehend a person, combining the virtues of the natural and humanitarian methodology. This approach becomes the post-nonclassical type of rationality, the most adequate modernity. It seems that the specifics of the subject of psychology today are due to the signs of precisely post-nonclassical rationality. Psychology, like other sciences, evolved to a post-nonclassical paradigm that includes not only new ways of understanding the world, but also a reflection on the foundations of rational types of cognition. The criterion of progress in the development of modern psychology is the acceptance of a plurality of methodological positions, a multiplicity of explanations. Psychology has come to the need to combine scientific analysis with understanding. Another no less important criterion of progress is a clear desire to reflect the foundations of psychology. There is a variety of new interpretative approaches to understanding the subject of psychology; a tendency to move away from natural-science monism to a humanitarianscientific monism is traced.
