PROBLEMATIQUE OF THE TRUTH IN THE WORLD ECONOMIC SCIENCE


The actual problematique of the truth, its content and types in the context of the evolution of classical, non-classical and post-non-classical science are considered in the article. The critical characteristic of the correspondent, pragmatic, coherent, conventional and consensus concepts of the truth is given. The concept of holistic truth is proposed and substantiated. Emphasis is placed on its universumic character, complex organization and structure.
The holistic truth is defined as the n-dimensional conformity of the economic- universumic knowledge to the super-complex human-dimensional economic temporal space (object) in its (conformity) interrelationship with human activity, its spheres and elements. The “inner world”, the construction of a holistic truth, which is precisely understood in this way, in the first approximation can be represented by three interrelated components: scientific, non-scientific and synthetic.
The scientific component of the holistic truth is a complex system of interrelationships: on the one hand, the relation of scientific economic knowledge to the object, and, on the other hand, the relations of knowledge to the subject, conditions, process, result, etc., to scientific and practical economic activity, as well as the relations of economic knowledge to itself. Elements of the non-scientific component of the holistic truth can be interrelationship of relations of: (i) non-scientific economic knowledge to various phenomena of the corresponding type of comprehension and reflected reality in a universumic context; (ii) non-scientific knowledge to itself and to knowledge – the results of other types of knowledge. Synthetic component of the holistic truth is the combination and synergy of the scientific and non-scientific components. The number of such combinations cannot be described briefly, since various relationships of many types of comprehension and cognition must be considered both among themselves and with their attitudes to numerous phenomena of human activity.
Thus, in modern science, along with the increasing complexity of scientific truth and the process of its comprehension, there is a ripening understanding of the impossibility of the latter without addressing the holistic truth and its comprehension. It is necessary to learn how to determine the extent and conformity of the holistic truth, the rigid conditions, preconditions and boundaries in which the economic-universumic knowledge corresponds to one or another sphere of an intricate human-dimensional object.
