Over the centuries, historical and philosophical thought has developed various principles and methods for understanding the historical process, moving from objective-idealism and subjective-methodology to civilizationalism.
This article discusses the application of heuristic methods and algorithmic patterns in historical philosophy.
The aim of the article is to identify the advantages of the applicability of heuristic methods and algorithmic patterns, the use of which will contribute to conducting historical-philosophical research, also outlining the biases (or, in other words, flawed thinking) of heuristic methods, discussing and revealing the practical and theoretical consequences arising from them.
In historical philosophy, there are a number of still unexplored and unexplored problems, and when there is a need to divide them into a predetermined structure and sequence for the purpose of analysis, historical-philosophical algorithms are developed, that is, precise instructions. According to this theory, all cognitive and cognitive processes can be analyzed or divided into algorithmic, semi-algorithmic, heuristic or semi-heuristic content.
Heuristic methods and algorithmic patterns make it possible to best identify and compare the stages of development of the historical event under study, the changes that have occurred.
