Аннотация: The article analyzes the subject, structure, and content of the theory of level methodology developed by a famous Russian philosopher Sergey Lebedev. It is shown that the theory of the level methodology of science offers an alternative not only to empiricist (positivist) concepts of the methodology of scientific knowledge but also to some modern post-positivist concepts (by Karl Popper, Imre Lakatos, Thomas Kuhn, Paul Feyerabend, and others). It is substantiated that its main advantage over these concepts is a more complex, yet systemic, characterization of the internal structure of scientific knowledge and its correspondence to the actual functioning of science, its pluralism and unity, both diachronically and synchronically.
