Imagination in ActionThe Case of Historical Epistemology Lada Shipovalova ladaship@gmail.com The study was funded by RFBR according to the research project № 18-011-00281
1. The context of my subject. • First thesis: The attention to the Imagination and to its role in science represents one important opportunity for the science itself and for the science studies.
2. The genesis and the conceptual conditions of the historical epistemology • Second thesis: Arising in a particular intellectual and social situation contemporary historical epistemology has already explored the new kind of interaction in which history of science shares the active role and has opened the space for the activity of the Imagination schematizing without any concept.

3. New image of the science in its history. • Third thesis: Contemporary historical epistemology combines the histories of science and art and this is not an accident.

4. New image of scientific objects • Fourth thesis: The scientific objects from the point of view of the historical epistemology lose their absoluteinvariance; acquire incompleteness and openness to various studies, at least on the first stage of science research, when they are coming into scientific being.
5. Problem and conclusion. • “There is no global social justice without global cognitive justice. Probably more that ever, global capitalism appears as a civilization paradigm encompassing all domains of social life. The exclusion, oppression and discrimination it produces have not only economic, social and political dimension but also cultural and epistemological ones.” Boaventura S. S., Nunes J. A., Meneses M. P.Introduction //Another Knowledge Is Possible: Beyond Northern Epistemologies / ed. byS. S. de Boaventura. London: Verso, 2007.
