Abstract
Aim. To analyze the epistemological status of probabilistic and statistical methodologies in modern science, including the question of finding the foundations of a way of thinking based on judgments about the probability of expected events.
Methodology. The results obtained in the course of this study are based on the methods of critical and comparative historical analysis. The interdisciplinary approach to the study of the stated topic is determined by the need to consider aspects of probability in the natural sciences and in the humanities.
Results. According to the results of the study, it was concluded that the appeal to the study of probabilistic and statistical methodologies makes it possible to identify correlations between the evolution of philosophical and scientific views. And this allows us to establish additional prospects for interdisciplinarity.
Research implications. The fundamental value of the conducted research consists in demonstrating the heuristic potential of philosophical concepts of probability for the scientific study of objects characterized by instability and complexity.
