The Classification of the Sciences as a Philosophical Problem

Abstract

There is a need for new classification of sciences as a result of mass production of scientific knowledge. Critical analysis shows that traditional library classifications let alone are not suitable for this purpose. Science today has a complicated structure. The concept of science encompasses a system of knowledge that meet certain requirements, the system of scientific institutions and virtual teams, the system of studies, finance, and scientific staff. For quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the effectiveness of research scientometric methods and special scientific expertise are used. All structural components of modern science require adequate classification systems. The development of a comprehensive classification of mathematics, engineering and social sciences and the humanities is urgently needed. Substantive and formal decisions in this area is one of the most important problems of modern philosophy.
