Logical Foundations of Investigative Experiment Arrangement
Abstract
Topicality. As one of the most important means of establishing objective truth, the investigative experiment has always been the focus of scientific research. At the same time, not only legal, but also methodological, technological, psychological and other aspects of its organization have been studied for a long time. However, as evidenced by the analysis of scientific research in this field, there are many gaps in the study of the logical bases of the rationalization of investigative experimental actions. Thus, the aim of the article consists in general formulation of such bases for an investigative experiment arrangement, outlining the criteria for proving its results, as well as the algorithm for the systematic use of logical means of optimizing its implementation. Methodology. The method of comparative analysis is used for the exposure of sources of basic contradictions, traced in the most widespread methodological approaches to decision of the examined problem in modern literature. Based on the method of semantic analysis, the conditions of effectiveness of various logical and methodological tools in the field of investigative activities are determined. The methods of logical modeling, generalization and formalization are used in determining the logical principles of the investigative experiment organization and the algorithm of its rational arrangement. Scientific novelty. The article formulates the logical foundations of rational organization of the investigative experiment and the criteria for proving its results. The basic principles of systematized application of logical means of optimization of investigative experimental activity are offered. The results obtained. The algorithm of using logical means of organizing investigative actions should provide a rational combination of deductive and probabilistic-analytical approaches, maximizing the constructive potential and compensating for the limitations of each of them. In particular, regarding the organization of the investigative experiment, this algorithm involves structuring the mentioned organization by distinguishing three main stages: preparatory, approbative and confirmative, for each of which determines the relevant and most effective combination of logical and forensic research methods. Practical significance. The proposed methodological approach opens wide opportunities in terms of providing the essential objectivization, efficiency and reliability of investigative experimental strategies and methods.
Keywords: investigative experiment; logical modeling; arrangement of investigation; logic of investigation; criteria of provability.
