Interdisciplinary Research and Social Picture of the World

Abstract

The concept of social technologies is nowadays applied to signify a uni­versal mechanism for building up a social ontology – a sphere, within which artifacts, techniques, culture and sociality merge together. Current dynamics of scientific knowledge is virtually in total to be determined through interaction with this very sphere; while to the syncretic diversity of social ontologies the new forms of scientific activity and communication are correspondent, being embraced by the concept of interdisciplinarity. Thus interdisciplinarity proves to be a special type of social technology of scientific research, yet projecting certain fragments of social ontology.
