Understanding and Consensus in scientific communication
The paper tackles question about resemblances and differences between the scientific and the everyday kinds of understanding (or better - comprehension), about links between the scientific comprehension and mutual understanding (consensus) among scientists, about justifications of the standard distinguishing the scientific comprehension on the one side from the scientific explanation on the other. The author draws the methodological resources of the systems-theoretical approach to communications that would have allowed according to the author to consider some highly abstracted scientific and theoretical statements as contact requests, as the common communication of common peoples.
