The article is devoted to the study of theoretical and methodological features of social knowledge
by Russian representatives of neo-Kantianism, in particular A. S. Lappo-Danilevsky, B. A. Kistyakovsky,
V. M. Khvostov, L. I. Petrazhitsky. The author compares and clarifies the fundamental concepts
of neo-Kantian methodology (causality, teleologism, ideographic and nomothetic approaches,
etc), discusses important scientific issues associated with the differentiation of the concepts of
“theory”, “methodology” and “method” and describes the specificity of sociological knowledge and
the question of sciences differentiation according to their objects and methods, as well as the formation
of social and scientific concepts. The novelty of this problem lies in the fact that neo-Kantian
methodology concepts are considered not as separate formations that represent individual scholars
of the neo-Kantian school, but as a unified theoretical and methodological set of measures to reform
sociological knowledge that was in deep crisis at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries. Methodological
research in the field of neo-Kantian sociology has identified the original principles of the new paradigm
of national social thought, in line with the world trends of the early 20th century sociology.
