Abstract

This article explores the influence of constructivist philosophy on the style of
scientific thinking, focusing on epistemological and methodological dimensions.
Constructivism challenges the objectivist ideal of science by emphasizing the active
role of the subject in the construction of knowledge. Drawing from key thinkers such
as Thomas Kuhn, Imre Lakatos, and Paul Feyerabend, the paper analyzes how
scientific paradigms, research programmes, and methodological pluralism reflect
constructivist tendencies. Furthermore, the article highlights recent contributions
from Uzbek philosophers such as Sh. Rakhmatullayev and R. Allaberganov, who
have examined the cultural and linguistic foundations of scientific knowledge in the
post-Soviet context. The study demonstrates that constructivism fosters a flexible
and dynamic understanding of scientific development, relevant to both global and
regional philosophical discourses.
