Abstract

The article criticizes the expanded interpretation of the concept of technoscience, namely the proclamation of the end of science as such and the arrival of a new era in the history of human knowledge. It is shown that the theoretical method as the basis of science has not undergone fundamental transformations since Plato’s age. The reason why classical logic and mathematics are effective in modelling reality is that the ontology of the world is isomorphic to logic and mathematics. It is the correspondence between logic and the world as such that makes science possible. If we can talk about methodological “techno-scientific” transformations, then this is nothing but a regression to the methodology of positivism.
