The Scientific Revolution: a break with the past or its renewal? On the ambiguous answer of contemporary historiography
The article discusses one example of contemporary historiographic discourse: the concept of the Scientific Revolution as an event associated with the formation of the foundations of science in the writings of scholars and philosophers of the 16th- 18th centuries. The first part of the article demonstrates that one of the significant controversies of contemporary historiography is expressed in the ambiguous representation of the structure of the Scientific Revolution. The beginning of the revolution is interpreted as a break with the past, on the one hand, and as its renewal, on the other. The author briefly describes the stages of the revolution presented in these two interpretations. The second part discusses some conditions of the complementarity of these two interpretations of the structure of the Scientific Revolution. On the basis of this complementarity, the author reveals a kind of an "innovation lesson" that contemporary historiography gives to the philosophical research of science. The author of the article pursues two intentions. The first methodological intention refers to actual discussions on the interaction of history and the philosophy of science, and tries to confirm the hypothesis that history is important because it not only fills certain theses with content for philosophical studies of science, but also participates in joint work on a possible response to the challenges of modernity. The author recognizes the question of the emergence of innovations in science as one of such serious challenges. The second meaningful intention appeals to the ambiguity of the image of the Scientific Revolution created by the contemporary historiography of science from the end of the 20th to the beginning of the 21st century. This image problematizes the answer of the philosophy of science to the questions connected with the emergence of the new European science, with the formation of new knowledge. The analysis of this image allows formulating a set of conditions for the emergence of innovations in science.
