Abstract

The following errors are to be found in contemporary logical theory of scientific knowledge:

  1. 1)

    the absolutization of classical mathematical logic, i.e., the effort to present it as the method for the solution of all problems of the theory of scientffic knowledge; if there is a repudiation of the classical conception of logic, then an analogous fate awaits another conception (for example, the intuitionist theory of deduction is regarded as a replacement for the classical theory);

  2. 2)

    triteness in the solution of various problems of the theory of scientific knowledge; the effort to formulate and consider the problems themselves exclusively in a form which makes it possible to use the ordinary methods of logic.
