Tri funkcije novovjekovnih znanosti
Three Functions of Modern Sciences

Summary/Abstract: The scientific-technical world outlook clearly differs from the traditional poietic, theoretical and practical outlook. In identifying the place of politics in the contemporary scientific-technical world it is expedient to proceed from the consideration of the fundamental functions of modern science, or, more precisely, from the great transformation which made modern science controversial with respect to its three functions and which occurred in a specific conjunction of phenomenological-hermeneutic philosophy and radical criticism of liberalism. The place of politics in the modern scientific-technical world is there where decisions are freely made on the objectives of intervention by scientific research into nature and society. It is not directly accessible to every free man; access to political activity is mediated by the understanding of the practical possibilities of research.
