Vynogradov Y. Constructivist tendencies in contemporary analytic philosophy.

The disssertation is devoted to the exploration of constructivist tendencies in contemporary analytic philosophy, the emergence of which is being considered as a result of evolution of classical epistemological programme. It is shown, that unsatisfactory solutions of problems of reference and conceptuality of knowledge in classical and contemporary epistemologies and ontologies led to the shaping of constructivist approaches towards human knowledge as to some extent arbitrary construction (organization) of world. The basic features of constructivism as an organizational theory of knowledge are being defined on the basis of application of pluralist methodologies to building ontologies and descriptions of cognitive processes.
