QUESTIONS OF PHILOSOPHY: COMPLEXITY AND PARADIGM OF SCIENCE AND EDUCATION

Abstract

The independence won by Uzbekistan in August 1991 created an atmosphere for objective scientific determination of the principal directions of science and education, as well as research on philosophy in the republic. The question arises what problems of philosophy should we deal with and on what basis should we now establish a scientific and educational philosophy ourselves. It is obvious that a significant part of the philosophical forces will be engaged, as before, in teaching philosophy. However, it should not determine the face and content of the philosophy of independent Uzbekistan. They should be determined by the new things that the philosophers of Uzbekistan will bring to the disclosure of the deep content of the philosophy of our ancestors, starting from the creators of the Avesta and ending with our forerunners-the titans of thought, who theoretically prepared the onset of the era of great discoveries of the Middle Ages. Thus, it is reasonable to focus the work in the republic on philosophy in two directions, firstly, the teaching of philosophy and, secondly, the development of the history of Russian philosophy from the Avesta to the present. At the same time, in our opinion, the focus should be on the history of our philosophy. We pay special attention to this point because we did not study the philosophy of our ancestors, but retold what is written about them in abbreviated and truncated form in the encyclopedias of large states. That is, there was no genuine research of primary sources based on the study of the original texts. If such work is established, then gradually a new world center for the history of philosophy will be formed in the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers and on the lands adjacent to them, with a focus in Uzbekistan and with the study of primary sources in the original languages. Of course, in no way should we forget the merit and scientific research of Academician I. Muminov regarding Uzbek philosophy, especially the history of philosophy of our fatherland.
