Abstract

The possibility is discussed of including subjective factors in science as a form of rational activity. Can the "allowing" of subjective moments into the procedure of "acceptance" of theoretical conceptions create a threat to the objective character of knowledge? The answer to this question depends or what is understood by subject of cognition. Scientific rationality as related to man, is compatible with the existence of the objective logic of sciences, if by the subject of cognition we mean not a group of individuals, but the whole of human society at a particular stage of its development.
