Статья посвящена проблемам, характерным для сегодняшней философской жизни в России. Хотя упадок философской мысли, видимо, преодолен, но качество философских исследований до сих пор в целом невысокое. По мнению автора, необходимы институциональные реформы в области философских исследований и распространения философских идей (касающиеся в первую очередь периодики). Отношение государства к философским изысканиям в лучшем случае безразличное, а скорее всего неблагоприятное. То же касается философского образования (как, впрочем, и всего комплекса гуманитарных дисциплин). Автор выдвигает некоторые идеи, которые могли бы улучшить эту ситуацию.

Article lies in the trunk for the domestic line of thought assert that the science of science - looking at all aspects of life science, but from a specific point of view, which is the exact area of knowledge, with the aim of enhancing the effectiveness of science policy through a rigorous basis for the decision of those or other «committees on science» is in principle unable to replace the philosophy of science, conceptualizing, what are the requests of human life (...) as such is responsible science. To achieve this goal is particularly relevant in the context of a permanent Russian reforms of the education system – involved ideas of classic and modern representatives of both the philosophy and science of science.

The aim of the paper is to analyze the formation and the main traits of new communica­tive spaces in the form of “epistemic echo-bubbles” and “echo-cameras”. Their emer­gence is associated with a transdisciplinary type of scientific revolution. Among the re­sults of this revolution is the Internet and various social networks. Their popularity among different strata of the population makes these networks are not just mass phenom­ena, but effective tools for communication and influence on the views spread in society and shared (...) by many individuals. The mechanisms of “epistemic echo-bubbles” and “echo-chambers” are explored and described. The fundamental differences in their func­tioning are emphasized, namely, that “epistemic echo-bubbles” are formed due to the similarity of people’s views (in the broad sense of life, including political life), and the emotions accompanying these views, so that subjects with different views and emo­tions are simply “not heard” within the boundaries of the echo-bubbles. Echo-chambers are understood to be actually closed communicative spaces formed by bringing together people with similar views (in the broad sense of life, including political life) and emo­tions accompanying these views. Subjects with different views are deliberately not al­lowed into these spaces, their views are discredited and “exposed” by special methods and techniques. Echo chambers are built on the rigid principle of distinguishing “friend” from “foe”, exercising rigid epistemic control over the state of minds and forming special structures of countering and exposing the authoritative opinions of opposition representa­tives. Examples of “echo-bubbles” and “echo-chambers” from modern political life (mainly in the USA) are given. The genesis of “echo-bubbles” and “echo-chambers” is associated with the phenomenon of post-truth and the transformation of language, which began to occur around the middle of the 19th century and which consists of an increase in the specific age of emotive components and a tendency to shift interest from collective action to individual activity.
