Sukharyna A. Principles of correlation between scientific and ideological knowledge in political science.

Thesis based on interdisciplinary methodology analyzes the specificity of the correlation of the scientific and ideological components in political science. The maximum level of objectivity for political science is necessary because the main requirement for the implementation of politics in modern democratic regimes is its foundation on research and facts. Accordingly, the low level of reliability of studies and the influence of ideological factors on them can lead to critical errors in the implementation of policies and, in general, low efficiency of public administration. The research paper highlights the content of the main criteria of scientific knowledge and the main approaches to understanding ideology. The use of the structural-functional and anthropological method was proposed, where the comparison between the ideological and the scientific is reflected in the difference between the types of worldview: the theoretical one corresponds to the scientific worldview, and the regular one corresponds to the ideological one.
