Synopsis: The Sociology of the social sciences is a new and fast developing
direction in contemporary sociology. This direction aims at the study of
social sciences as a specific social institution deriving from the basic
foundations of society. These foundations exert a deep influence upon the
structure and the system of the social sciences in all aspects - political,
economic, gender, cultural, etc. At the same time, in this case we have a
"reverse connection": the social sciences themselves influence on social
institutions, changing them in some direction. The Central Asian countries
can be considered a very interesting "application ground" for the sociology
of social sciences and, studying of the world of Central Asian social
sciences, this sociology is able to get a lot of original returns. We can
point out three key directions of the work of sociology of the social
sciences in Central Asia: firstly, this sociology can address the role of
socio-cultural factors in the evolution of social sciences in Central Asia;
secondly, such sociology should concentrate its research interest on the
role "internal" and "external" impact in Central Asian social sciences;
thirdly, the sociology of the social sciences should investigate different
problems of scientific stratification in the Central Asian social sciences
and reveal the key powers determining this stratification.
