Abstract
The author spreads the ideas of the “arrow of time”, put forward by the Nobel Prize winner I.R. Prigogine on the complex self-development of the inanimate and living matter, as well as socium, on the dynamics of the scientific knowledge in general and sociological one in particular. It is shown that under the influence of the effects of the “arrow of time” the sociology in Russia and the world develops non-linearly and unevenly, there are complex reciprocal influences. In the historical context this can be seen in the example of mutual enrichment and confrontation of such trends as Occidentophillism, Slavophilism, and Euraziystvo that originally arose in the Russian sociology. The non-linear development of the sociological knowledge began to manifest itself in the early twentieth century which was expressed in the form of the violations of the continuity of the development and the artificial destruction of the “bourgeois” knowledge - that was opposed by the “small worlds” of Russian and foreign scientists. However, the clearly evident complicating dynamics of Russian sociology becomes at the end of the twentieth century and especially in the twenty-first century which is revealed by the examples of non-linear increasing knowledge at the world sociological congress to which the Russian scientists contributed. It is particularly noted that, taking into account the negative side-effects of the “arrow of time”, the Russian sociologists have done a lot in recent years to revive the culturally-based interdisciplinarity of the scientific knowledge, and to make a humanistic turn in the scientific knowledge itself.
