Science - is a special form of cognitive activity aimed at the development of new system-organized objective and reasoned knowledge of the world. Science as a social phenomenon can be considered in terms of the following aspects:

- Science as a specific activity;

- Science as a system of knowledge;

- Science as a social institution;

- Science as a productive force;

- Science as a form of social consciousness.
