Abstract

The article is meant to draw attention to the systemnetwork approach, as an attempt to resolve the epistemological contradictions of subjectivist and objectivist positions in sociology and to define the system-network aspects of ‘social’ as a concept. The relevance of this topic is determined not only by the constantly emerging theoretical problem of subjectivity and objectivity ratio in the understanding of society as social system reality, but also by various investigations of theoretical sociologists to solve this problem in the context of system-network approach.
Keywords:
a network-system approach, a network-system, social reality, actor-network, phenomenology, social epistemology
