Philosophical reflection in search of the lost truth
Introduction. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that in the programs of postclassical rationality the role of truth in cognition is reduced to nothing. Theoretical analysis. The ontological and epistemological reasons for the transformation of the phenomenon of truth in postclassical programs are investigated. It has been revealed that in the new methodology of postclassical programs, the interaction of objectivity and subjectivity in cognition is determined by the boundaries of a thought experiment, which idealizes any natural and technical object. Conclusion. The ontological reason for the «outcome» of truth is the replacement of natural processes by artificial and technological ones. As a result, not the characteristics of an object are studied, but the optimal conditions for its design are determined. The epistemological reason is connected with the absolutization of idealization methods, and any ideal objects that are modeled and designed are described with their help. Another methodology appear s in the analysis of objectivity and subjectivity in cognition, which is determined by the boundaries of a thought experiment that idealizes any natural and technical object. In the programs of postclassical rationality, the very principle of comparing knowledge about an object with the object itself is destroyed. Therefore, the researcher begins to study not the facts of the natural world, but the analytics of his own procedure for producing knowledge about knowledge. In these processes, truth disappears from the cognitive process.
