metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The purpose of the article is to introduce a fragment of an unpublished monograph by sociologist
  and historian Nikolay I. Kareev titled “General methodology of the humanities” (1922).
  The book was published only in fragments and needs further updating in terms of its significance
  for the history of Russian sociology. In the publication of archival documents and
  accompanying annotations, a fragment of the final seventh chapter “Normative and Applied
  Knowledge in the Humanities” is analyzed. In this text, the scholar turned to the complex theoretical
  issues of defining the role, function and correlation of fundamental and applied sciences.
  The text analyzes N. I. Kareev’s classification — the division of scientific knowledge into
  theoretical, normative and applied. By carefully examining applied knowledge, he revealed
  it in two aspects — vulgar and pragmatic utilitarianism. Regarding the first, he concluded
  that the absolutization of the utilitarian point of view is dangerous for science itself, since it
  makes the development of science dependent on particular goals, including party interests,
  and subordinates science to the changing circumstances of the moment. On the other hand,
  theoretical knowledge can also have value as the most reliable basis for any practical discipline.
  The importance of applied knowledge is due to the fact that true (factual) knowledge
  about society can only be obtained by inductive means, i. e., in order to cognize social reality,
  applied sciences must precede theoretical ones. The meaning of applied knowledge is that it,
  unlike theoretical knowledge, is aimed at transforming nature or society.
