Abstract
The complex character of science makes its examinations from various points of view and creation of its various images possible. The paper discusses o ntological-epitemological categorical stance and corresponding images of sc ience. Thus there are various images of science, such as observational, exp erimental, unidirectional, unicategorical, inductive, deductive, two-direct ions, two-category and inductive-deductive ones. In conclusion, an outline of multicategorical and multidirectional science and its image is presented .
