The article provides a philosophical analysis of methodological approaches to the search for Truth in the concepts of V. Kizima and V. Nalimov. The relevance of the research is due to the need for synthesis of different epistemological strategies in modern scientific discourse. The aim is to compare V. Kizima’s totalogical approach and V. Nalimov’s theory of semantic space, revealing their methodological potential. The methodology is based on comparative analysis, systematic approach, and hermeneutic methods. The results show that both thinkers interpret truth as a dynamic process of meaning unfolding: Kizima’s totalogy reveals the relationship between part and whole through syzygy mechanisms, while Nalimov’s theory highlights the probabilistic structure of consciousness through Bayesian logic. It is substantiated that the integration of these approaches creates a powerful methodological toolkit that overcomes the limitations of traditional binary logic and opens new horizons in epistemological research.
Key words: totalogy, amerology, semantic space, amodal meanings, Truth, methodology of cognition, epistemology, holism, V. Kizima, V. Nalimov, philosophy of science, theory of knowledge.
