The Experience of a Systematic Exposure of Methodology Mental Studies

Author(s)
N. M. Rakityanskiy
Abstract
The publication discusses the foundations of the methodological model that was used in the preparation of the monograph “Mental studies of global political worlds” [41]. The text contains three main relatively independent sections. In the first one, the author presents his understanding of the phenomenon of mentality and the methodological model of its political and psychological research. Here we are talking about the content and internal organization of the mental research model, the principles of its construction, functions and methodological resource. The second paragraph reveals the heuristic potential of the dogmatic principle, its methodological and ontological significance. The last part is devoted to identifying the historical foundations of the phenomenon of subjectivity and the concept of the fundamental subjective triad. Summarizing, the author formulates the thesis that the methodological basis for the study of the mentality of political worlds is the trinity of the principle of historicism, the dogmatic principle and the principle of subjectivity.
