Abstract
This article analyzes the epistemological foundations of constructivist thinking in the context of contemporary philosophy and cognitive sciences. Constructivism is interpreted as a methodological and epistemological approach that explains knowledge not as a passive reflection of objective reality, but as an active process of construction carried out by the subject. The study examines the evolution of constructivist epistemology from classical rationalism and empiricism to social and radical constructivism. Special attention is devoted to the interrelation between cognition, language, social interaction, and cultural context. The methodological framework of the article is based on comparative analysis, hermeneutic interpretation, and interdisciplinary synthesis. The research reveals that constructivist thinking transforms traditional notions of truth, objectivity, and scientific knowledge, emphasizing the role of communicative practices and interpretative mechanisms in knowledge production. The article concludes that constructivist epistemology serves as an important paradigm for understanding knowledge generation in the digital and globalized world.
