Annotation

The article analyzes the heuristic potential of various paradigms of modern ontological discourse. The versatility of discourse reflects the complexity and heterogeneity of the social in various modes of its being: existential, systemic, network. The philosophy of existentialism has created a methodology for studying the unique human existence, the most adequate language for its description, introduced a new ontological reality into the philosophical discourse — the existence of a person. Communicative ontology, in which communication not only reflects and transmits information, but also actively creates and constructs reality, emerged as an interdisciplinary research project in the fields of philosophy, sociology, political science, and communication theory. A radical turn in social ontology is associated with the restructuring of social theory based on systems (N. Luhmann) and networks (B. Latour), which reflected the convergence of natural science and socio-humanitarian research programs characteristic of post-nonclassical studies. The article emphasizes that the problem of modern ontological reflection is the coordination of these paradigms. The problem lies in the unification and convergence of these approaches. On what basis is transparadigm synthesis possible in social ontology? The author believes that the complexity paradigm is a relevant basis for combining various social ontologies.
