Dialectics of Objectivity of the Ontology of Society in Epistemology

Abstract

The primary purpose and objective of the study are to identify significant changes in social ontology under the influence of the digitalization process. A critical analysis shows that the categories of society’s ontology have been studied in economic theory, political science, historical sciences, and applied sociology. However, they ignore the philosophical content of the ontological categories of society, which actualizes the study of the dynamics of the ontology of society from the position of metaphysics, i. e., philosophical ontology. The study’s authors used a comparative analysis, theoretical synthesis, the hermeneutic method, and the principles of dialectical logic as the historical concreteness. As a result of the study, starting from the concepts of E. Pickering, L. Duston, P. Galison, M. DeLanda, Ilyenkov, and other authors, significant changes in the concept of objectivity of the ontology of society were revealed.
