Abstract

The paper critisezes the manner of „changing“ and valuating the methodological approaches in our science. Relying on influences of world science, nevertheless obvious instignation in our science development, with unsufficiant elaboration, often are created prejudices and stereotypes, expresed in „proprier“ forms of clash and anthagonism. In this sence, some contemporary trends in world science, wrongly and simplifyingly understood as „return to the fistory“, recently opened again old discusions about unconveniance and unsufficiency of some „unhistoric“ methodological approaches. This paper attempts to clarify some relevant circumstances in conection with this problem, and to indicate the possibilities of evaluating pheripherial place of our science up to now. The main condition for this is, equaly existence and awearness about scientific values of different (consistently applied) theoretical and methodological approaches. It is also necessary in this stage of our science development (when its subject has been spreaded to the domain of contemporarity), to deal with theoretical clarification that should easier its operationality.
