Abstract

The paradigm shift has its own peculiarities in different sciences. The fundamental difference between the social sciences is that contradictions here arise not only as a result of more and more profound comprehension of the object under study, but primarily on the basis of qualitative changes in the object itself - society, its forms and structures, conditions of vital activity and functions. A common feature of new theoretical paradigms is that they do not discard previous knowledge, but integrate it. The paradigm shift is associated, as a rule, not only with the development of a different system of ideas and ideas, but also with the formation of a qualitatively new type or style of thinking itself, updating the methodology and conceptual apparatus of science. The recognition of the important ideological role of economic theory has often led to the identification of basic theoretical schemes with ideological doctrines. Such an identification is not accidental; a picture of economic reality can act in this role, but it greatly simplifies the nature of the relationship between ideology and science. Different economic theories simply reflect different aspects of the same reality. A new paradigm of economic theory cannot be created artificially, “composed. The way to a new paradigm lies through a theoretical generalization of historical experience and radical changes taking place in the world.
