Abstract
The article examines the epistemological role of synthetic biology in the context of the transformation of forms of scientific knowledge. The main focus is on technoscience and synthetic biology, the grounds for its use as a representative of the current stage of scientific knowledge development. The author defines synthetic biology, its goals, methods, and general status in the system of scientific knowledge, and also examines both the existing and possible epistemological usefulness of this scientific branch. Attention is paid to the logical justification of the paradoxical states of synthetic biology. The results reflect the possible forms in which the epistemological usefulness of the scientific direction will be most relevant.
