Comments on L. Garai’s Article "Complimentarity of Information Theory and Identity Theory in Human Sciences "
The author supports principal ideas of L.Garai’s article and gives his own interpretation to some of them. The article emphasizes that the famous Hungarian psychologist in his article raises especial problems relating to the understanding of the prospects of the human sciences. The article discusses the importance of complementing the information approach in the human sciences with a theory of socio-historical identity. The author thinks that “postclassical logic”, which is recommended by Garai for researching human phenomena, can be better understood as not a logic of quantum physics, but as the proccessual metaphysics, distinct from the traditional substantialist metaphysics. It is shown that the idea of “affordances”, formulated by J.Gibson and used by L. Garai for understanding the development of scientific knowledge, can be productive applied in investigating the problems of the ideal world and virtual reality. The author emphasizes the peculiarity of the approach of Garai in connection with his appeal to the ideas of J. Gibson for understanding the important features of virtual reality, as well as for new opportunities to find answers to questions about how scientific knowledge develops, about the options and trajectories of this development, as well as the origin of the phenomenon of multiple discovery (simultaneous invention).
