Summary/Abstract: The latest shift of the dominant research paradigm or theoretico-methodological reference frame in social sciences is analyzed in the light of the deep global socio-economic crisis and resultant social relations restructuration processes symbolically crowned by the Berlin wall collapse. The inappropriateness of Kun’s monoparadigmatic scientific revolution model for the explanation of the permanent confrontation between conservative, reformist and critical variant of social scientists’ world-view and self-perception is underlined.
