The interdisciplinary importance of the concept of “rationality” motivates the need to demarcate the boundaries of its usage in different spheres of science and culture, appealing to norm and regulation and demanding a critical review of classical and non-classical criteria and standards of scientific rationality. The purpose of this international project is the development of integrative approaches that will allow the mutual adaptation of different dynamic theories of rationality, the unification of the strategies of analytical and continental philosophical traditions for the development of a unified conceptual field of analysis of different aspects of scientific rationality.

This project is being implemented in cooperation with the University of Groningen (Netherlands), Radboud University (Netherlands), Paris-Sorbonne University (Paris IV) (France), the University of Caen Normandy (France). Key Russian partners are the Faculty of Philosophy at Lomonosov Moscow State University, the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Saint Petersburg State University’s Institute of Philosophy, the departments of philosophy at the Ural Federal University Philosophy and the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University.
