The problem of the unity of biological knowledge and closed conceptual systems in the living sciences (Part 2)
The article provides a critical analysis of the main ways of theorizing knowledge in the living sciences. There is an incredible variety of types of construction of theoretical systems in the living sciences, as well as a variety of approaches to the typology of theoretical systems of biological knowledge. Attention is paid to the study of the structure of closed conceptual systems in the life sciences, while it is noted that the key factor determining the specifics of the formation of a closed conceptual system is the dominant type of generalization of knowledge, which ensures the stability of the mechanism of reproduction of the subject of the theoretical system. There is a significant heuristic value of closed conceptual systems of biology, within which not 19 only the growth of knowledge (the formation of new concepts, theories) occurs, but the integrity of scientific knowledge as a unity of theoretical and factual, the subject and method of its study is achieved to the greatest extent.
