The Modern Concept of the Relationship Between Philosophy and Science

Aim. To evaluate modern concept of the relationship between philosophy and science in the works of S. A. Lebedev on philosophy and methodology of science.

Methodology. The results obtained during this study are based on analytical, logical-historical and hermeneutic methods.

Results. The study reveals the key points of the positive dialectical concept of the philosophy and science interaction, which can be traced in the works of the Russian methodologist. S. A. Lebedev’s project focuses on human consciousness, values, and scientific worldviews as intermediaries between philosophy and science. The social and constructivist view of the subject and object of scientific knowledge and knowledge is complemented by original concepts of consensual scientific truth, systemic methodological pluralism, methodological culture of the scientist and level methodology. Reality, defined through the concepts of a standard and the objective world as a world of possibilities, acts as a medium for a consensual dialogue between philosophy and science.

Research implications. S. A. Lebedev’s ideas outlined in his works make a great contribution to the development of a complex mechanism for the interaction of philosophy and science, philosophical ideas, natural science theories and practical research.
