ABSTRACT

This book considers methodology as the theory of organization of an activity; here the emphasis is made on an activity performed by a subject (an individual or a collective one) and its completed cycle – a project. At the same time, an activity may have a sophisticated (internal subjective) structure. The corresponding examples are the problems of organizing a collective research (discussed below), the problems of organizing (controlling) a joint activity, and others. A detailed study of specific features arising in a joint activity goes beyond the present book. Actually, this is a promising direction of further methodological investigations.
