Ontological And Axiological Foundations Of Economic Thinking In Women’s Entrepreneurship

Abstract

This article examines the ontological and axiological foundations of economic thinking in women’s entrepreneurship within the context of contemporary social transformation. The research analyzes women's entrepreneurship not merely as an economic activity but as a complex socio-philosophical phenomenon associated with human dignity, self-realization, value formation, social responsibility, and sustainable development. Employing ontological, axiological, dialectical, and comparative approaches, the study investigates the evolution of economic thinking among women entrepreneurs under conditions of globalization, digitalization, and social modernization. Particular attention is devoted to the experience of Uzbekistan, where support for women’s entrepreneurship has become one of the strategic priorities of socioeconomic reforms. The findings demonstrate that women’s economic thinking is shaped by the interaction of individual aspirations, social values, cultural traditions, and institutional opportunities. The article develops a socio-philosophical model explaining the relationship between economic thinking, entrepreneurial activity, and value transformation.
