The Epistemological Features of Contemporary Experimental Practice
Abstract
The article reflects one of the main tendencies in contemporary epistemology - the orientation to displaying the anthropological dimension of scientific knowledge. Borrowing his arguments from the contemporary history of science, the author aims to demonstrate indissoluble unity of human and none-human, social and natural elements in experimental system as basic units of scientific practice.
