This thesis analyzes the gnoseological (theory-of-knowledge) foundations of the philosophy of education in the development of human thinking. Gnoseology, as a discipline that studies the sources, forms, and process of attaining truth, provides the theoretical basis for education. The text highlights the integration of gnoseological approaches with modern pedagogical technologies, methods of developing critical thinking, the impact of epistemic cognition and epistemic emotions on scientific inquiry, as well as the role of Uzbekistan’s ethnodidactic heritage and the philosophical views of Eastern thinkers. Enriched with international research, the work brings together the theoretical and practical aspects of educational philosophy and offers recommendations for fostering deeper and broader thinking in the younger generation.
