Abstract

The laws of the intensity of the application of natural science and mathematical methods in social and humanitarian knowledge are observed, depending on the specifics of the philosophical foundations of the latter, in particular, the doctrine of human being. The possibility of applying these methods within the framework of humanitarian knowledge is explained due to the presence of a unity of the qualitative diversity of social and humanitarian objects, despite the indisputable differences of individuals participating in social relations. It is noted that the possibility of applying scientific and mathematical methods in social and humanitarian knowledge is one of the sources for the appearance of such a new direction in the development of modern science as the interdisciplinary approaches and theories. The ecophilosophical approach is given as an example of modern knowledge, which combines the achievements of natural science knowledge and the initial philosophical humanitarian principles of consistency, integrity and personalism. The article considers the possibility of applying mathematical methods in historical cognition based on the postulate of objectivity and the regularity of the historical process.
