Аннотация:The authors evaluate the search for the foundations of social theories within theframework of two projects, firstly, an ontological turn, and secondly, possible combination ofmethodological individualism and methodological institutionalism. The criticism of the twomentioned projects is made from the standpoint of the theory of conceptual transduction, headedby the principle of theoretical representation, according to which all scientific positions arepresentations of scientific theories. It turns out that, contrary to the supporters of the ontologicalproject, there is no need to isolate ontology from scientific theory, and it is present in the theoryas a doctrine of subjects. The most meaningful characteristic of individuals and social groups iscontained, again, not in the ontological project, but the theory of conceptual transduction.Individuals represent individual theories, and social groups represent group theories.Consideration of group theories from the standpoint of the individual should be complementedby an analysis of individual theories from the standpoint of groups. Accordingly, mutualcomplementarity also takes place in the case of a combination of methodological individualismand methodological institutionalism. Thus, the genuine foundations of the social sciences are theprinciple of theoretical representation and the methodology of conceptual transductions. Thedeveloped conception is used to characterize the nature of social psychology and socialpedagogy. In the first case, an interdisciplinary connection of a certain scientific theory withsociology and psychology is realized, in the second with sociology and pedagogy.
