Natural-humanitarian mainstream and cultural knowledge: from separation to unity

In this article, on the basis of understanding the processes of the development of human knowledge about the world and the place of man, there is a tendency in the intersection of humanitarian and natural-scientific search. It is alleged that humanitarian knowledge is increasingly gaining the tendency to reorient the natural-science discourse to the sphere of the humanitarian mainstream. The author undertakes a fragmentary attempt to demonstrate this form of rethinking by the example of “perturbation theory” of systems and the renormalizability of order. The article affirms the necessity of accentuation of consideration of humanitarian processes with the greatest share of reliance on the natural scientific picture of the world and its processes. Two positions are analyzed here: the denial of the introduction into the cultural analysis of the material of the natural sciences and the active use of such an array.
