Abstract—This article is dedicated to discussion of the recently published two volumes of selected works by the outstanding Russian philosopher V.S. Stepin. The authors consider several subjects that appear to be central both for Stepin’s creative work and for vectors in the development of contemporary philosophy. They are all associated one way or another with the problems of change in scientific rationality and characteristics of the contemporary stage in the development of science. The qualitatively new interrelationship between the subject and object of postnonclassical ontoepistemology of the turbulent world of complexity occupies a special place in this context.
Keywords: Postnonclassical rationality, reflection, complexity, subject of cognition, communication, complexity observer.
