COHERENCE OF THEORIES OF BIBLIOPSYCHOLOGY OF M. RUBAKIN, INFORMATION METABOLISM OF A. KEMPINSKI

Abstract

The purpose of the article. To advance arguments for the coherence of the fundamental concepts in the theories of bibliopsychology by Mykola Rubakin and information metabolism of Anthony Kempinski and therefore to justify the feasibility of complex-systemic use of these theories to stipulate the latest holistic epistemological doctrine. The methodology of the research implies the application of general scientific and special methods, namely: conceptual logical-notional analysis and synthesis on the basis of analytical-synthetic processing of information; logical and system approaches based on the comparative method. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the actualization of the theories by M. Rubakin, A. Kempinski through positioning them as coherent, in particular, by establishing relationships between them at the level of individual aspects of the creation and functioning of terminology, basic conceptual elements and postulates of a holistic independent system as correlates; hence it aims at expanding ideas about the importance of these concepts for the formation of the latest disciplinary matrix of the system of social communications, modernization of higher library-information
education, improving the practical activities of information and library sphere. The phenomenon of coherence in the system of modern scientific discourse is presented as a promising methodological concept used by various scientific communities, given the current trend towards complex systemic interdisciplinary research. Conclusions. The comparative analysis of the theories of bibliopsychology and information metabolism has proved their coherence at the level of original term compounds and fundamental concepts. Moreover, the study established the prospects and feasibility of individual special studies aiming at systematization and synthesis, which will ensure the future integration of other related concepts and theories, as well as create a general synergy effect in the study of cognitive theory.
