LOGICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ANALYSIS AND THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE TRANSITION FROM THE STUDY OF THE BRAIN'S PHYSIOLOGY TO SYNERGETIC PRINCIPLES

The article aims to establish the significance of studies of the physiology of the brain as the epistemological sources of the emergence of the synergetic paradigm. In this regard, the author, for the first time, carried out a systemic study of the principles and categories of synergetics encountered in the basic concepts of physiologists from Sechenov to Anokhin in chronological order. He assessed the completeness of each definition's conceptual content, carried out an initial generalization of the analytic-synthetic method based on the existing definitions, substantiated the contribution of physiological science to the methodological foundations of synergetics. The scientific achievements of higher nervous activity physiology in this area do not yet have their final philosophical generalization. Physiological and synergistic methods mutually complement each other, and contribute to a complete knowledge of the surrounding nonlinear world.
