AXIOLOGICAL AND IDEOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF SOCIO-HISTORICAL RESEARCH
The article deals with the problem of methodological anarchism in socio-historical studies. The humanities have come to a standstill, demonstrating their helplessness in answering the basic worldview questions. It is shown that the root of the problem is in the methodological foundations which deny a general coding value of binary oppositions and a super-paradigm approach. The foundations of scientific activities are historically variable so in search of the humanitarian scientific truth one can rely only on methodological approaches. The lack of a universal world view and hence the "presence" of discrepancies in the philosophical foundations can be compensated by relevant postulation and axiomatization. The problem of social and humanitarian studies raised can be focused on the search for a methodological approach to addressing the task set. The article proposes a solution to the above problem of the axiological and ideological foundations of social research. In the first place, it is acknowledgment of a special coding value of binary oppositions as the pillars on which any social and humanitarian constructs have to be built. In the second place, it is obligation of a paradigm approach, i.e. the use of a paradigm as a special worldview model accepted as research discourse. In the third place, domestic scientific practices have to have an anticipatory moral attitude, which implies the necessity of rehabilitation of a God-recognizing super-paradigm by research community.
