У статті доводиться, що із виникненням методології історичної глобалістики, історичної
проекції геополітичних ідей, “світ-системної” теорії змінюється характер постнекласичної
методології. Основною відмінністю цих теорій є осмислення сучасних глобальних і
транснаціональних процесів з точки зору ретроспективи 500 років всесвітньої історії.
Post non classical methodology is based on the thesis of the problematic nature of operating by
entities which were traditionally viewed as a large-scale subject of history and the media of historical sense
(people, nation, state, etc.). They are too abstract to be real actors of history in terms of thinking and acting.
The possibility of constructing of the global historical schemes, concepts is determined as doubtful. Some
functions of ideological philosophy of history (racial, class which were dealt with efforts to develop global
projects) were partially shifted to other areas of social and scientific knowledge, especially in theoretical
sociology. The methodology of historical globalization came into being as well as “world-system” theory
and historical projection of geopolitical ideas. The main characteristic feature and difference among these
theories is the understanding of contemporary global and transnational processes in terms of retro
perspectives of 500 years of the world history.
The methodology of the historical globalistics turns round the historians from essentially
humanitarian knowledge to social sciences. This direction of research occurs under the conditions of
actualization of cultural-historical approach and the supremacy the concept of historical relativism.
Eurocentric, linear and strictly deterministic concepts of traditional philosophy of history are denied in the
article. The theories of cultural anthropology and synergy are prepared together with its methodological
tools. Hence socio-historical existence again becomes existentially open to different possibilities.
