The author&nbsp;dwells on such common problem for post-classic science as an Observer, his role,&nbsp;status and importance both for natural sciences and humanities (for example, ethnology&nbsp;and pedagogy). Two conclusions are based on the analysis of the problem&nbsp;of an Observer in natural sciences (for example, physics and synergetic) and in social&nbsp;sciences (for example, ethnology and pedagogic): 1) Observer’s indestructibility&nbsp;from the structure of post-classic scientific theory, and 2) the necessity of transcendental&nbsp;subjectivity in post-classic science from physics to pedagogy. This does&nbsp;not necessarily lead to the loss of objectivity of scientific knowledge, although complicates&nbsp;the procedures of its achievement. It also confirms the processes of the&nbsp; humanitarization of modern science.</p> ER -
