From the perspective of cognitive activities is a major ideological challenge.The attitude to the question of how to explore the world, defines the orientation of the individual in society and the surrounding area and its activities.It defines the function of human knowledge in the world, and knowledge - is the highest level of information about the world that a person can get through his consciousness.Cognition (PD), which is the unity of sensory perception, thinking and practice allows you to get knowledge.
PD is continuous: in our communication, work, experiments, artistic and aesthetic activity, the various tasks.Such knowledge is characteristic of all living organisms.It is human nature but informative, educational and cognitive activity.In the process of learning the knowledge of PD becomes clear objectives, forms, tasks.
There are different types of PD.Modern science highlights:
- mundane and practical;
- Research;
- mythical-religious;
- art;
- philosophical.
and practical everyday cognitive activity takes place in the active and passive mode, it spontaneously occurs continuously.We internalize the experience of others, learn new, get to know the world through touch, smell, and other senses.Environment, life, just knowledge - that the content of everyday cognition.Practice a little more complicated: it is our beliefs, ideals, national signs, information about the links that exist in the world.We know that if we stick his hand in boiling water, will burn.Practical everyday cognitive activity generalizes the personal, socio-cultural experience, folk wisdom.Through the mundane and practical, we learn a language, learn about spiritual values, follow generally accepted customs.
scientific cognitive activity (activities) also arises from the experience of practical or spontaneous empirical knowledge of the world.But in contrast to the knowledge of natural science does not wait until you get the knowledge gained with the help of the experience.It goes further.Building theoretical models of phenomena, devices, processes, using common abstract objects.The validity of scientific hypotheses is checked by means of experiment.To judge how the model corresponds to reality only after comparing the results of experiment and reasoning.
scientific cognitive activity is different orientation towards the study of new phenomena and processes, objectivity, integrity.It is a unity of objective truth and logically interrelated beliefs, opinions, theories, regulations and laws.
mythical-religious knowledge (some scientists consider them as separate types of cognitive activity) is probably not pure knowledge, and thinking using a dogma, a belief in the supernatural, in God.Therefore, religious cognitive activity - realization of God.Religionists believe that the world is the arena of the two opposing forces.They are in different religions have different names, but the essence is the same: good and evil.Supernatural can help, protection, and can be punished for their sins.
mythological and religious knowledge created Unlike other picture of the world to impose a clear imprint not only on the world of believers, but also on the culture as a whole.
mythological societies characterized by PD at the lowest stage of development.
philosophical knowledge of reality - is the desire to comprehend the world holistically, to find and to understand its fundamentals, determine the place of man in the world.
Art AP - figurative interpretation of reality.
All kinds of cognitive activity are interconnected and are derived from the mundane and practical knowledge.
