The monograph’s concept is based on the study of the phenomenon of science in the historical and philosophical context:
- The phenomenon of science and the main forms of scientific knowledge.
- Pre-science, classical, non-classical and post-classical science in the history of philosophical thought.
- ]Socio-cultural globalization, transformations of scientific knowledge, and the postmodern paradigm in contemporary philosophical thought.
- Global problems of modern science.
- The growing role of philosophical methodology in the scientific horizon.
- Specifics of the philosophical interpretation of natural science and socio-humanities knowledge. Interdisciplinary research. Science, engineering, technology. Philosophy of artificial intelligence.
- Ethos of science and scientist. Moral responsibility of a scientist in the modern world.
The authors are proposed to prepare materials following the above sections. The monograph’s concept allows the authors to conduct an analytical work in terms on studying philosophy of science in its historical-philosophical manifestations. Following its subject, the consideration can take place both in the historical and philosophical areas, timescale, and from the standpoint of any field of philosophical and scientific knowledge. Thus, the historical and philosophical insight will allow analyzing and conducting philosophical reflection on the research subject at the theoretical level, and immersion in situations of the socio-cultural horizon will allow realizing the practical component of the study. The proposed logic will allow the authors to explore the world in detail through the prism of scientific knowledge, in its historical and philosophical formation.
