The strategy of innovative development has been developed in the Republic of Uzbekistan,
its conceptual issues,
duties
setgiven Although this process started with the independence
of our Republic, in the next five years it became a social and national reality, the brand and
international image of "New Uzbekistan" was formed. The third renaissance is the product of
conceptual ideas, creative research and activity aimed at the innovative development of the
country, as well as the "Strategy of Actions for the further development of the Republic of
Uzbekistan" (April 20, 2017), which was developed and adopted at the initiative of our President
Sh.M. Mirziyoev, appearing as an expression. The core of innovative thinking is a philosophical
outlook, in the words of INLapshin, "philosophical invention". Philosophical invention expresses
the hunger for innovation in the human mind, the desire for new thoughts and approaches. It
consists of a philosophical idea, a philosophical thought, an observation and a view of conceptual
importance. Philosophy itself is a constant novelty, innovation. If we interpret innovation as a new
idea, philosophy is exactly this idea. Philosophy, with its scientific methodological and
fundamental importance, brings innovation to thinking, encourages thinking to new observations
and conclusions. Even scientific and technical innovations with a more empirical aspect rely on
philosophical inventions and look for their basis in them. Functional systems and social
classification features of innovative thinking arise from its above scientific and social
philosophical essence. Striving for innovation, modernization of social existence, production
processes determines these functional systems and social classification features, gives them a

direction. In this way, striving for innovation, modernization is manifested in the form of
deterministic factors that shape innovative thinking. The study and analysis of scientific
approaches and definitions of innovative thinking show that it has the following functional
systems, social and classification features:
that is, innovative thinking comes as a type of scientific activity aimed at bringing
innovation and discovery into social life, science;
represents a worldview prone to innovation, development and change;
acts as a creative, psychological institution that directs the rational searches and activities
of a person to specific social goals;
combined with social consciousness and social thought, reflects a new conceptual idea
of a certain environment, society, group;
has a social deterministic character;
affects social existence, community life in the form of new spiritual reality, ideas, values;
all conscious, rational activities of a person can be considered as the products of the
influence of innovative thinking1. This systematic, classification approach helps to reveal the
scientific, socio-philosophical essence of innovative thinking. However, it is necessary to
remember that not all products of thinking are innovative, sometimes thinking can be conservative
and unscientific. Therefore, when we apply the above directions of thinking to innovative thinking,
we refer to aspects of thinking that are prone to new research, scientific, technical and
technological innovations. We explore not all forms and products of thinking, but those aspects
that are prone to renewal and support a new approach, in the way of innovative thinking.
Functional systems of innovative thinking mean social spheres and institutions where
innovation and new technologies are introduced, the changes observed in them, the social
significance of these changes, and their tasks. Such functional systems are determined by the
internal functions and characteristics of social spheres. For example, there are certain differences
between the functions of innovation in the field of culture and the functions in the field of politics,
economics or medicine. Innovation in the field of culture is focused on preservation and increase
of material and spiritual wealth, introduction of international, new experiences in this regard.
Innovation in the field of politics is a type of activity aimed at effective management of
society and state life. Innovation in the field of economy implies the production of goods and
services, the organization of this process based on modern technology. Functional systems of
innovative thinking require a good knowledge of the features and functions of the social sphere in
which innovation is introduced. Knowing the problems in these areas and striving to solve them is
the initial stage of innovation, but at the basis of innovation lies the goal of seriously affecting the
industry, turning the innovation into a priority reality. Ignorance of this requirement turns
innovative research into a palliative phenomenon, as a result of which the innovation does not
produce significant results. The activities of the world's largest corporations and firms confirm that
innovation can bring fundamental changes to the industry. For example, large corporations such
as Apple, Microsoft, Macdonald can be an example1.
Innovative thinking is a type of scientific activity, primarily related to science, aimed at
bringing innovation to social life. Science is essentially a phenomenon that encourages the search

for new things, the organization of social life in accordance with new things, and the constant
search for new things. Scientific research has never stopped, even in the times of inquisition,
bigotry and totalitarianism, the human mind did not rest, it continued to strive to find new things.
However, in thinking about certain stages of social development (for example, the 9th-14th
centuries called the "Eastern Renaissance", the 16th-17th centuries called the New Age, the
Renaissance and Enlightenment periods), in the words of the famous historian LNGumelev,
"passionateness" (that is, revitalization, intensification, tension) is observed. Sociologists
recognize these periods as separate stages of development of thought, culture and society. Today,
the New Era (XVI-XVII centuries) is recognized as a special stage of scientific and technological
development. From this period, man began to pay great attention to intellectual research, scientific
and technical discoveries. In particular, the discovery of the steam locomotive, sewing machine
and new technical tools made it possible to ease and increase the productivity of heavy manual
labor, and to reach even the longest distances quickly and easily. Every scientific innovation was
a product and achievement of human thinking, and ultimately, the development of society and
civilization was evaluated according to scientific innovations. Today, it has become a common
approach to evaluate and measure the progress achieved by mankind with scientific and technical
discoveries. Humanity, human society has a dynamic nature, precisely because of these
characteristics, they constantly strive for innovation, support new research. Development means
the search for new things, the product of scientific discoveries.
Experts say that "humanity has been constantly searching to make its life comfortable and
prosperous during the past period since its appearance on earth. The discovery of fire brought great
convenience to the lives of primitive people. Their food is delicious, and the bitter cold is a little
less. The discovery of fire in turn led to the discovery of metal. This created greater opportunities
for people. Work and hunting tools made of metal were preferable and more convenient than stone
tools. This led to great positive changes in agriculture and hunting. The invention of the wheel
made great changes in human life. Now people had the opportunity to travel long distances and
bring various goods from far away. There is another discovery made by mankind, which is no less
important than the above-mentioned discoveries. The name of this is also quite mild, the
intercontinental trade caravan route is the Great Silk Road. In history, the researcher is interested
in the "jade road" that connected northern China with Khotan and Yorkent, the "dull (lazurite)
road" that connected Iran, Mesopotamia, Syria, Egypt and Anatolia, the Urals, the Golden O It
reveals that there was a "Northern Road" connecting Russia, Europe and Central Asia, scientific
discoveries and researches were made in this geographical area. He writes, for example, "Due to
Khorezm's trade relations with Middle Eastern countries, a wonderful type of pottery called
``lustra'' entered the region. "Several dozens of pieces and whole copies of Lustra pottery are
known from Daryalik Lake Basin, Qavat Castle, Qizil Castle, Mizdahkhan, Shemahakal'ala and
other monuments of the Khorezmshah era"2. Therefore, the Great Silk Road and other trade
centers cannot be considered separately from scientific and creative processes, each integrated
relationship relies on some innovation and brings innovations. Since the genesis of thinking goes
back to the first imaginations, trade and integration relations in the primitive period, it is necessary
to consider rationalism in the New Age, belief in the power of intelligence, and science as a new
stage of thinking. As Academician AFLosev wrote, from the mythology of the primitive period,

one can find a source and basis for any thought, new research3. Although thought continues to rely
on this tradition, it is not completely dependent on it, and in many cases even openly opposes it.
In this place, it is possible to remember the philosophical heritage of B. Spinoza, Acosta,
Feuerbach, Mansur Halloj, fundamental changes in social consciousness during scientific and
technical revolutions. These changes were innovative.
Innovative thinking is a worldview prone to innovation, progress and change. The word
"innovation" is derived from the Latin "in" and "novation" means new. So "innovation" means
bringing in. According to its socio-philosophical essence, it is "a cultural reality, change,
innovation, a new method, means, mechanisms used in the process of activity that was not present
in the previous development of the object." At its center is a certain idea, worldview. Therefore,
innovative thinking is a certain idea, a worldview aimed at introducing new things.
There is no person who does not have a certain worldview, but to have a worldview of
innovative importance, awareness of scientific research is required. It is important not just a
worldview, but a worldview built on the results of scientific research and inventions. But a person
who is familiar with the laws of human thought, psychology and epistemological research knows
that scientific research is not always new or innovative. Sometimes a researcher, scientist, engineer
discoverer may not create something new after searching for a lifetime, and it is usual for some
researches to repeat old scientific results, not much different from them. Scientific innovation is
not required from studies aimed at generalization and study of empirical experiences, the study
and generalization of empirical experiences itself is innovation. So, although the worldview and
idea express a certain life approach, the epistemological interest of a person, it is not always an
innovation, it can remain at the level of personal interest and need, and become narrow, sensitive
experiences. In most cases, this is the case, so scientific discoveries are understood as a unique
process, a reality.
We should mention one more aspect that no matter how the world view and idea affect
human actions and activities, they often remain an internal, hidden, subjective phenomenon. It is
both easy and difficult to find innovation from them. The easy part is that a subjective phenomenon
can be interpreted in different ways, in the words of the ancient philosophers, "it is no easier to
find black or a stain in something that appears white." For this, it is enough for the subject to focus
his gaze on the second point of the white object. The hard part is that "every thesis has an
antithesis." Worldview, idea is built on theses, expressed in theses. Thinking, consciousness can
accept and evaluate these theses in different ways. That is why the innovation that comes in the
form of a worldview, an idea may seem like a novelty today, and tomorrow it may be evaluated in
the absolute opposite way. In science, there are discoveries that are considered absolutely new.
For example, the heliocentric theory of Galileo and Copernicus, the theory of relativity of
A. Einstein, the periodic system of D. Mendeleev are among them. However, these doctrines and
systems are not completely immutable, in recent years, quantum theory and geological research
have made certain additions to them. These changes are not only related to the limitation of human
thinking, but are also related to the wide, complex and changing nature of the objects and events
that people are looking for1.
A change of worldview and idea is not yet an innovation. For example, in the following
years, the exchange and transformation of the scientific worldview with the religious worldview

is observed. Certain changes took place in the inner, spiritual life of people, theological knowledge
and views about the transcendent were formed. But for some reason, we scientists do not call them
innovation. This shows the difficulty of correctly assessing the transformation occurring in
worldviews and ideas, the complexity of finding innovation in them. In the fields of management,
economy, information communication, technology, it is manifested in concrete mechanisms, forms
and methods, which are not difficult to develop and evaluate. Innovative thinking acts as a creative,
psychological institution that directs the rational searches and activities of a person to specific
social goals. In this place, four categories that require each other are noticeable: rational search
and activity, social goals, creativity and psychological establishment.
Rational search and activity is a behavior based on human intelligence and expressing
objective needs. A rational approach is the main sign of innovative thinking. Therefore, seeking
novelty from irrational behavior is not common. The connection of rational research with objective
needs gives vitality and relevance to scientific, philosophical and intellectual inventions. Rational
research, which is based on objective, social goals, expresses them, even if they do not lead to any
innovations and inventions, they advance human thinking and enrich it with something. In the
process of this development, a psychological institution regarding the search for truth is formed in
the mind. Therefore, it is not necessary to expect innovation and invention from all researches, but
they should add something to human thinking. A psychological institution called to search for the
true truth encourages the philosopher to create a stable ideal, to search for it, to protect it in any
situation. Without this framework, the researcher will not have a clear idea of what he is looking
for, and will follow any idea, concept or invention. Consistency in the search for truth is due to
this principle.
Philosophical, intellectual invention, research, creativity, creative activity. Rationalizing
this activity and directing it to objective needs has always raised various questions in philosophy.
With this in mind, IILapshin writes: "Any invention is an improvement, but it embodies
the sign of consistency, sequence and creativity, because consistency synthesizes researches of
qualitatively different order in the previous process"1.
The American philosopher S. Langer called any shift in philosophy a novelty, a "new key"
and based its symbolic nature on the connection with creativity and creative processes1. At the
same time, philosophers also mention the problem of connecting creative activity with social
purpose. The individual psychological nature of creativity, even the leadership of a psychological
institution in it, can only be effective through social purpose. The well-known psychologist
N.Uznadze emphasizes that "psychological institution" as a reality close to the socio-spiritual
ideal, has not only an individual sensitivity, but also a socio-practical, purposeful nature2. The
individual sensitive, reflexive nature of creativity and creative processes cannot remain only at the
level of the individual, because the individual, the creator himself is a product of a certain social
environment and ethnocultural stereotypes in it. This social environment and ethnocultural
stereotypes sometimes have an open, transparent, sometimes closed, covert effect, but always
undergo a synthesis of personal reflection, life experience, and the influence of the creative
institution. Therefore, creative philosophy and psychology pay attention not only to individual
interests, reflexive experiences, but also to their connection with social goals. Innovative thinking
combined with social consciousness and social thinking expresses a certain conceptual idea. Even

simple scientific and technical innovations that do not express any idea are built on conceptual
views. For example, the new tools created by the USA and Europe bring technicism and
pragmatism into our lives with their external aesthetics, efficiency, ease of hard work, and
expansion of opportunities. Burger, Red House, McDonald's, KFC do not just whet our appetite,
they inculcate the Western lifestyle, the epicurean idea of "eat, drink, enjoy" into our social
consciousness. Eating on the street is not a tradition in the Uzbek people, it is even condemned.
We took the above innovations as innovations, and now they are becoming popular.
Conceptual ideas in innovations are economic (identification of production processes and
tools, creation of new products, increase of cultural services), political (introduction of new
technologies, institutions, laws to the management of state and community life; expansion of
opportunities to use modernization and democratic management mechanisms ), legal
(implementation of international legal norms, creation of legal norms aimed at ensuring freedom
of speech and opinion), cultural-axiological (transforming new work methods, new ways of
thinking into socio-cultural values), scientific-technical (scientific-technical formation of thinking,
establishment of new personnel and institutions in this regard, joining global scientific and
technical development), international integration (participation in solving regional and
international problems,formation of the labor migration system, contributing to the establishment
of a policy of peace and cooperation on earth) can be researched in such directions. Social,
classification characteristics of innovative thinking also depend on these directions. For example,
the social and classification characteristics of innovative innovations and updates introduced into
the economic sphere include the production of new goods, the introduction of new technology, the
expansion of management and marketing opportunities, the creation of national brand products
through their use, a positive opinion about the activities of corporations, enterprises, and firms
with the help of media centers. can be expressed in such ways as creating a charming image. It
should be remembered that national goods, services and media centers form an innovative brand
and international image. It is known from the experience of developed countries that no matter
how important innovation is, it is equally important to create a brand, a charming image, and an
international image. Companies that care about their image, brand, do not ignore any news related
to the activities of the media centers.
They form and promote their brand, international image through mass media, media
centers.
Innovative thinking has a socially deterministic character. Every new thing created and
brought into life affects social thought, people's imaginations and encourages them to search for
new things. It is due to the influence of this determinism that the social consciousness is mobilized,
and people are interested in innovative ideas and developments in their hearts and minds.
According to the Russian philosopher NOLossky, "all human behavior has a deterministic
nature, it is influenced by the human div or character, generation or social environment. Human
will and creative search are also influenced by determinism"1. From this point of view, innovation,
as a creative search, is a reality that is born from the "social environment" and turns into social
wealth, and as an intellectual property, it arouses interest in intellectual research and scientific
innovation in people. Even scientific and technical innovations do not stay within the framework
of one enterprise or corporation, they form the opinion of consumers through the goods and

products they make, intensify the competition in production, "who won". As a result, the consumer
wins, that is, the innovative product, the product becomes a brand, social values. As T. Parsons
said, "The goal of the economy is not to maximize production for the individual, but to maximize
it in relation to the social value system"2 That is, the innovation introduced to production and the
economy is not maximized only for the needs of the individual consumer, but the social value
system is maximized through And social values in the form of realities with a constant
deterministic nature shape the life of society, manages "institutional systems" (T. Parsons), directs
them to social goals.
Determinism and indeterminism meant by NOLossky can be seen in innovation when it
expresses aspects related to antinomic phenomena such as effect and reflection, newness and
oldness, creation and commandment. Innovation should not be understood as absolute newness,
in any information or method something related to the past, oldness can be found. For example,
flying to alien planets or "spaceships" are what we call scientific and technical innovation. But the
genesis of these innovations can be interpreted as a product of fantastic ideas (flying carpets) in
folk tales, which are ancient myths. "Flying carpets" are the first conceptual models of these
interplanetary rockets, "saucers". Any innovation acquires an innovative character over time, its
indeterministic aspect makes thinking and research consistent and systematic. The laws of
dialectical development of social life made innovation and anovation, determinism and
indeterminism a natural phenomenon. Therefore, innovation and anovation should be interpreted
as the quality of natural aspects of social life. The tendency of thinking to newness is the basis of
innovative research. Innovation is not just a desire, sensitive research emphasizes personal desires
and interests, but it cannot be forgotten that it also requires concrete, practical actions. News needs
to become a real relationship, to be objectified. The most common form of this is scientific and
technical discoveries, so the term innovation often refers to such discoveries and inventions. There
is a certain time and distance between the inclination of thinking to newness and its objectification.
The scientific and technical development of society depends on making this time and
distance as short as possible. It does not have developed standards, but every society that strives
for development, if we proceed from the requirements of today's scientific and technical
development, first of all creates and supports socio-economic factors and effective mechanisms
for introducing innovation into practice.
