Читать Philosophy is the Unborn Child of Science: Looking for a Universal Common Language. Философия – это нерожденное дитя науки: в поисках универсального общеупотребительного языка - Yuriy Rotenfeld

Today it is possible to speak about the deepest crisis of language caused by the fact that speech activity of people, especially in the humanitarian sphere, is carried out by means of such conceptual thinking, in the frames of which not only the fact is true, that one and the same expression acquires different sense in different situations, but even separate words have not only one, but several meanings. As a result, not only the understanding of social reality, most of its meanings becomes unclear, but also communication between people is complicated. This language is not subject to any correction because there are no facts to correspond the most common of its concepts.

We are talking about the language of classification concepts, with the help of which something is called. As a way of intellectualthinking, it is able to reflect only the qualitative diversity of the world, while the scientific reflection of reality is not available to it. And it became obvious that the elimination of the drawbacks of this thinking by its own methods is impossible.

Thinking with the use of classification concepts is dominant in the socio-humanitarian disciplines, which only partially uses a different intelligible type of concepts – specifically-scientific comparative concepts of different kinds, contributing to the transition from an intellectual understanding of the world to rational thinking, manifesting itself in the modern natural Sciences. And as the beginning of all specific Sciences are considered the well-known comparative concepts of gradation type, such as long and short, rich and poor, and similar concepts.

Examples of comparative concepts of gradation type

More complex relationships, causing cyclic processes, I call comparative concepts of orthogonal form. This potential and kinetic, electrical and magnetic and the like concepts, many of which reflect the relationship of the parties, separated from each other in the cyclic process, not by one hundred eighty degrees, as is the case ща opposites, but by a quarter of the period, i.e., ninety degrees.
