The main values of ethical and philosophical principles of critical rationalism

Abstract

The urgency of the research is determined by the need for modern realities to create new values that are a means of human self-expression and to create demands for socio-ethical practice through understanding the ethical and philosophical aspects of critical rationalism. In this context, ethical education forms the life and value orientations of the individual, which is a very important aspect of modern realities. The article discloses the issue of the creative approach to the main ethical values that must be included in the process of cognition, within which one should achieve the unity of knowledge about what is and ought to be as one of the substantive characteristics of modern ethics. However, the empirical methodology of critical rationalism is built on the principle of critical scrutiny, which allows to determine the rationalist correlation of what is and ought to be, taking into account the new fallibilistic logic of the process of cognition. It is shown that modern philosophical and methodological systems are designed to form value-oriented knowledge in ethics, which must be rationally justified first to contain holistic and meaningful axiological elements of scientific theory instead of abstract moral and imperative norms. Its expediency is constantly growing because it carries out a methodological and rational approach on the basis of critical rationalism to solve ethical issues that can be studied and explained not only dogmatically, but also systematically and rationally. At the same time, the aim of critical rationalism as a scientific approach and way of philosophical thinking is to form a new methodology of ethics as science based on new empirical principles (compared to Kant's interpretation of its place in gnoseology) that transforms into ethical scientific theory.
