Abstract
In the monograph "Geological cognition as a subject of philosophical and methodological analysis" (Ekaterinburg, 2003. 200 p.) V.A. Mironov makes an attempt to solve the problem of scientific status of geological cognition. This work is particularly important in the context of the vacuum in the philosophical and methodological studies of geology, which was formed by the end of the 1980s. The author distinguishes two directions, within the framework of which philosophical problems of geology are studied: domestic (Soviet, Russian) and represented in the English-language literature (mainly British and American). At the same time, he draws attention to the fact that separately each of these traditions does not allow to fully reflect the complexity of the process of geological cognition.
