“Eso-” or “Exo-”? The Problem of Choosing the Discourse Format in the Politar Society Science
The article examines the specificity of epistemological discourse in politar societies, understood by the author as primarily the civilizations of the ancient and medieval East.

description |
The article examines the specificity of epistemological discourse in politar societies, understood by the author as primarily the civilizations of the ancient and medieval East. The research aims at revealing the reflexive mechanisms and internal motivation that determine the format used by the academic community to bring gained cognitive innovations to society. This issue is especially relevant in light of the fact that in other socio-cultural organisms, being far from politarism, and in other epochs, including the present, scientists are aware that not every discovery of them can and should immediately become known to the general public. The main methods used in the article are: 1) hermeneutic interpretation of texts belonging to scientists who worked in politar societies; 2) rational and theoretical reconstruction of life realities against the background of which an epistemological search is carried out; 3) externalism and internalism as alternative and at the same time effectively complementing each other philosophical and scientific constructions. The results of the study give grounds to assert existence of a complex moral and psychological conflict in the minds of those actively involved in the scientific discourse. On the one hand, a scientist is called upon to act in the interests of the whole society and therefore is motivated to create exoteric texts (pedagogical, educational, technical, etc.), which assume the widest reading audience as the addressee. On the other hand, the requests for a purely epistemological search create the need for special theoretical research, the results of which should be disclosed in a dosed and careful manner. In these conditions, the appeal to the esoteric format should be interpreted not as a whim of the scientific community, but as an optimizing tool required for calm and safe research work. However, excessive esoterization might entail a limitation on the number of active discourse participants. In cases when the bearers of esoteric knowledge die without finding worthy successors, this line of research is usually terminated. The same thing happens during periods of socio-political catastrophes, accompanied by the total destruction of former cultural values. |
