Movement in the Field of Forces: in search of the Cognitive Toehold
We represent a short review of the articles in new issue of "Space and Time" Journal. Using the definitions of force and force fields in physics and sociology, we show commonalities and differences in the systems of forces acting on objects of research of our authors. We pay special attention to the interpretation of forces of social action, in accordance with the concepts of Bourdieu and Toffler. L. von Bertalanffy showed that the characteristic feature of complex systems is that they have a goal, and on the examples from the articles of our journal, we show that it is possible to define the power of social actions and interactions as the ability and the ability to achieve this goal. We also discuss the prob-lem of anisotropy of cognitive, geopolitical and cultural spaces. In the first case this anisotropy is a consequence of the diversity of methodologies, in the second and third cases, the anisotropy appears as a result of the diversity of geopolitical and cultural centers.
