Abstract

Author considers cognitive assumptions of practical consciousness: some preconditions on which an interaction with the social and natural objects is based. Author follows the “constructivist” program in social theory in its classic version which is represented by social phenomenology and phenomenological sociology of knowledge(A. Schȕtz, P. Berger, T. Luckmann). Author analyzes some latentaxioms and presuppositions, “idealizations” and mechanisms of everydayconsciousness which constitute individual social experienceat the level of micro-interactions with the objects and the “others”.This analysis also refers to the intellectual heritage of classical theoryof knowledge (epistemological ideas of I. Kant, E. Husserl). Authorconsiders the status of the Other in the elementary systems of socialinteraction; discusses the necessity to assume the relative constancyand uniformity of the objective world elements including theexistence of an integral self-identical “I” (actor’s personality). Theorganized process of social experience uninterruptedly operated bycognitive schemes of practical consciousness is considered as one ofthe main conditions of reproduction of coordinated routines whichsupport social order and institutional structures of the society.
