Abstract

The article deals with the levels of organization of scientific knowledge. It is substantiated that every developed branch of science includes four levels of knowledge: perceptual, empirical, theoretical and meta-theoretical ones. Though being interrelated, the levels aren’t derived one from another. The reason is that each level has its own ontology and methodology. The interlevel relation is of constructive-interpretative character.
