Abstract: Purpose The purpose of this paper is to represent an epistemological analysis of Russian sociological scholarship. Design/methodology/approach The analytical approach that allows reducing the particular representations within the sum of propositions is the methodological base of the paper. Clearing of propositional attitudes explains the basic communications in a thought of researchers. The circle of grounds available to achievement of intuitively noticed purposes defines the preferences of researchers in general. Findings The author proves that the theoretical developments in the Russian sociology are possible as a derivative from the development of questions, which are raised nowadays in worldwide science, but possible in a view of original development of questions, which were raised in worldwide science in the past. Research limitations/implications The Russian sociology represents a part of the European humanities, which is based on the various forms of theoretical combat or agonality. Practical implications The author shows the ways out of the theoretical combat or agonality. Social implications The research clarifies the perspectives for increasing of the knowledge-based society in Russia. The author analyzes the concept of Russia as a paradigmatic society, particularly in the context of transition economies. Originality/value In general, the author concludes that the pro-argument with respect to theoretical developments is weaker than the contra-argument with respect to theoretical developments. This paper has revealed the model within which extreme positions can be reconciled.
