Стратегии философского исследования коммуникации - стр. 2
SUMMARY
The study of communication is one of the mainstream in the modern philosophy. "Communicative turn" led to the emergence of a variety perspectives, connected with the study of communication in all humanitarian disciplines. These developments today require reflection and synthesis. Each researcher tries to give his own answer to the question of what communication is and what is not, and thanks to the diversity of the proposed answers, the situation is even more confused. It is not easy to understand what communication is by itself, and the question “what is the communication?”, takes on very many additional dimensions. The epistemic complexity is arising such more that any attempt to see the “forest behind the trees” or to discover the thread of Ariadne in the constantly created labyrinth of intellectual searches becomes relevant.
A terminology construct “research strategy” has further developed in this book. It allows to speak about personal choice in situations of polyparadigmality thinking. Thereby a certain research position, which allows us to keep a balance between different vectors of meaning attractions, becomes possible. . It is concluded that the subject-researcher, due to the entry into the observation situation in the first reflection level state, experiences first dissociation and then dispersion. The book shows how the classic subject of the research has transformed into the continuously reassembled integrity of its own communicative conditions held by auto-communication at the second-level reflection state. One type of this reflection is “decentralized reflection” that becomes an important tool for paradigm analysis, because it allows us to consistently take the place of every researcher, analyze the influences that he is experiencing, and to live from the inside various research angles and personal choices that form an individual strategy.
The work develops further the concept of paradigm analysis as the process of identifying the bases on which the researcher relied under the gravitation of various paradigmatic (epistemic) influences. The metaphor of the surfer researcher, which slides along the waves created by the centers of paradigmatic attraction, is used. Surfer have to keep away all these centers, because he wants be independence from them – otherway he can lose his philosophy reflexive position.
The book considers ideas of communication that have developed in different directions of thinking (the paradigm of complexity, the system paradigm (N.Luhmann’s version), the network paradigm, the paradigm of “communicative rationality”, etc.).
