On the Importance of the Constructive Role of Contradiction in the System of Scientific Research

In philosophical literature there is a statement that knowledge is a purely logical process. Researchers argue that elements of formal logic such as induction, deduction, analogy, formalization, mathematization, etc., are sufficient for the process of knowledge. Categories play a major role in the productive activity of thinking. At one time, philosophers put forward the idea of another logic - transcendental, dialectical, in this regard, representatives of empiricism and rationalism, F. Bacon, R. Descart, G. Leibniz, I.

These methods were presented in the form of certain algorithms, as well as organized procedures for discovering truths, moving from truths of a lower order to truths of a higher order. In this regard, research and Western philosophers, with their obviousness, show that the illusory nature of ideas about the nature of knowledge as purely logical.

Abstract

In philosophical literature there is a statement that knowledge is a purely logical process. Researchers argue that elements of formal logic such as induction, deduction, analogy, formalization, mathematization, etc., are sufficient for the process of knowledge. Categories play a major role in the productive activity of thinking. At one time, philosophers put forward the idea of another logic - transcendental, dialectical, in this regard, representatives of empiricism and rationalism, F. Bacon, R. Descart, G. Leibniz, I. Kant, G. Hegel made efforts to create universal methods and logical methods of knowledge. These methods were presented in the form of certain algorithms, as well as organized procedures for discovering truths, moving from truths of a lower order to truths of a higher order. In this regard, research and Western philosophers, with their obviousness, show that the illusory nature of ideas about the nature of knowledge as purely logical. This article attempts to show the fallacy of this fact.
