Abstract

The article explores political cognition, which can focus primarily on identifying events and phenomena that are of particular importance for a particular political situation or are relevant to the public concerned. It is emphasized that golytic knowledge of the postmodern age, liberation from value priorities, expediency of progress, public benefit, can broadly attract ordinary or unscientific expert assessments. Focused attention to the disclosure of new causal relationships between political facts and the prediction of political processes, often uses subjective or authoritarian terms, which have not found a statement in the broad scientific community. It is emphasized that in modern scientific knowledge the priority of terminological severity is shifted in favor of a projective study, which directs efforts to acquire new knowledge. It is argued that the transformation of science into a part of the production complex and, at the same time, on a social phenomenon determines a certain professional approach of political scientists and understanding their significance and responsibility for their scientific results. It is substantiated that political knowledge is embedded in the cultural continuum and is determined by the norms generated by the civilization development of society. The possibility of acquiring qualitatively new paradigm knowledge involves an analysis of the state of a political subject and his thinking in the conditions of new and new conditions of standardization considered.
