DEVELOPMENT OF ECONOMIC-THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE IN NONLINEAR DIMENSIONS OF SYNERGY
Abstract
The objective need for radical transformations of complex economic systems and the development of modern tools for analyzing the underlying mechanisms of socio-economic changes requires a review of the methodological foundations of the traditional scientific knowledge. Rethinking of the content and role of existing methods of studying the fundamental concepts of traditional economic theory proves the relevance of the article. The purpose of the article is to develop innovative types of methodological reflections that open up new possibilities for the theoretical development of economic knowledge. The methodological basis of the article comprise methods and forms of research tested in economic science, such as a synergetic and systemic approach, the principle of co-evolution, methods of comparison, analysis and synthesis, methods of abstraction, historical and logical evaluation, empirical and theoretical knowledge. The article reveals the features of economic-theoretical knowledge and stresses the dominant role of the synergetic method in the process of economic-theoretical knowledge. The authors confirm that the key aspect of the synergetic methodology is “nonlinear thinking”, which is represented by multi-variant and alternative evolution, and that the synergetic approach does not cancel the existing theoretical models of economic science and the corresponding categorical apparatus, but adjusts their development taking into account the new economic reality.
