Аннотация

В настоящем исследовании выявляется важность и проблематика системы учета устойчивого развития. По мнению авторов, возникающие проблемы свойственны понятиям и структуре современной системы и их решение лежит в самой возможности дальнейшего развития знания или эпистемы. После краткого рассмотрения природы и исторических последствий смены эпистемы в статье исследуются гносеологические истоки современной системы учета. Обосновывается необходимость новой, а не просто современной, эпистемы и ее важность для системы учета устойчивого развития. Существенную роль в этом сыграла работа Бруно Латура, заложившая основы акторно-сетевой теории и онтологической множественности. Библиогр. 93 назв.

Ключевые слова:

система учета устойчивого развития, эпистема, онтология, современность
