- Abstract
- The paper is aimed to analyze the innovations contributed by Ya.A. Ponomarev into the area of evolutionary epistemology that lead to conceptual reorganization of the psychological science. The three major versions of evolutionary epistemology developed by K. Popper, K. Lorenz and J. Piaget were differentiated on the basis of: (1) adherence to a certain branch of evolutionism; (2) adherence to either hypothetical-deductive or inductive models as the method of science not logic; (3) the way to explain invention of new knowledge. These criteria were applied to build a purposeful estimate of Ponomarev's evolutionary epistemology. The evidence of its irreducibility to the above mentioned versions and originality is presented. Moreover, in the framework of Ponomarev's version of evolutionary epistemology, theoretical foundation and empirical investigation are bounded into an entire coherent cycle of invention and explanation of new knowledge. The crucial role of psychologists in initiation and formation of evolutionary epistemology is mentioned particularly. The importance of evolutionary epistemology in the continuing process of differentiation of psychology as a sovereign science and epistemology as a part of philosophy is discussed.
