Abstract
<jats:p>The purpose of the study is a comprehensive analysis of science as an anthropological phenomenon that goes beyond purely epistemological and methodological considerations. This article identifies the role of human activity, value orientations and socio-cultural contexts in the formation of scientific knowledge and its impact on human and social development. The methodological basis of the research is based on the principles of philosophical anthropology, social epistemology and hermeneutics. Methods of historical and philosophical analysis, comparative research, as well as qualitative methods of collecting and processing empirical data (interviews, case analysis) are used. An important element is an interdisciplinary approach that integrates knowledge from philosophy, sociology, the history of science, and cultural studies. The results of the study show that science is a complex socio-cultural construct in which cognitive, value and practical aspects are intertwined. It has been established that the formation of scientific knowledge is significantly influenced by anthropological factors such as cognitive abilities, motivations, attitudes and biases of researchers. The mechanisms by which science influences a person’s self-awareness, worldview, and ways of interacting with the outside world have been identified. The prospects for research on this topic are related to a deeper understanding of the relationship between science and human existence. Special attention is planned to be paid to the study of ethical aspects of scientific research and development, as well as to the analysis of the impact of new technologies on the formation of human identity and the transformation of social relations. A promising area is the development of a philosophical and anthropological concept of science that can serve as a basis for the humanitarian expertise of scientific projects and the formation of responsible scientific policy.</jats:p>
