Russian Social Epistemology: From “Ldsh-Strategy” To “Ldsh-Dependency”[Российская Социальная Эпистемология: От «Ldsh-Стратегии» К «Ldsh-Зависимости»]

Introduction and purpose. The paper is devoted to social and philosophical aspects of evolution of Russian social in connection with advancement of Fuller’s ideas, and also analytical aspects of Fuller’s contribution into the global social science. Methods. The author of the paper applies theoretical methods (analysis, synthesis, etc.), acting in contemporary philosophy and sociology of social sciences. The author also uses the method of social observation. Scientific novelty of the research. The key idea of the paper is to analyze the phenomenon of “Fullerdependency” in contemporary Russian social epistemology as a type of “Ldsh-dependency”. “Ldshstrategy” is a strategy of entering the world science following some scientific leader as an authoritative scientist. “Ldsh-dependency” is an absolute or nearly absolute dependency of our Russian sphere of knowledge from some concrete leader or an authoritative scientist who favors our entry to the world science. Results. «KSE-group» (I.T.Kasavin’s group) successfully and effectively uses “Ldsh-strategy” on the first stage of its entering the world science. But further the strategy begins to regenerate into “Ldsh-dependency” i.e. “Fuller-dependency”. Such dependency does not contribute to constructing original and innovative Russian social-epistemological program, competitive to the programs of S.Fuller, D.Bloor and A.Goldman. It is necessary to learn to overcome and solve problematic issues in limits of “KHM-style” since only this style can form “breakthrough vectors” in the research area of Russian social epistemology.
