Outline
Research in the History and Philosophy of Science (HPS) in Russia has a long tradition and some internationally recognized attaiments; this research is presently continuing in the Russian Academy of Sciences and Russian Universities. Courses in HPS are given in nearly all Russian universities and higher schools. In May 2016 Russian researches and academic professors working in HPS founded Russian Society for History and Philosophy of Sciences (RSHPS) as a platform for building the national professional community in this academic field. One of instruments of community building will be national professional Congresses in HPS, the first of which will hold in Moscow June 20-21, 2018. These Congresses will continue a tradition, which existed in the USSR but was interrupted soon after the desintegration of this country.
The pertinence of HPS in the Russian social and cultural context is due to the fact that in the beginning of the 21st century Russia faces a number of opportunities and risks. The most important of these are related to the need to develop a national knowledge-based economy. It requires a transformation of industry and its management via focusing on intellectual capacities, competences, knowledge, self-organisation of creative activities, soft dialogical forms of communication. Studies of cognitive and social dimensions of science and technology, which correspond to the present level of development of science and the society, provide a singifincant backward impact on its subject-matter. This is particularly evident in developed economies where science and technology studies play a major role. Since such studies encounter a number of methodological problems the situation is often described as a crisis, which requires new breakthrough researches. This gives some reasons for a revision of the disciplinary structure of science and articulation of its socio-philosophical aspect including special characteristics of HPS in Russia, which involve a specific worldview as well as special practical needs.
Aims and Scope
Aims of this Congress include a promotion of new agendas in HPS, discussing of structural shifts in this field of research and making certain decisions in RSHPS.
