This article systematically analyzes the concept of civil service, its socio-philosophical essence, and its theoretical and institutional foundations. The formation of the civil service is examined within the framework of its evolution from ancient political and philosophical views to the theories of classical bureaucracy, New Public Management, digital public administration, and modern service-oriented governance. Alongside the views of foreign scholars such as Plato, Aristotle, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Max Weber, Woodrow Wilson, John Rawls, Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, David Osborne, and others, the article analyzes the perspectives of Uzbek scholars and specialists on public administration, civil service, administrative ethics, and institutional reforms. It also examines the legal and philosophical characteristics of Uzbekistan’s national civil service model based on the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On Civil Service,” Presidential decrees on public administration reforms, and relevant strategic documents. The purpose of the article is to provide an in-depth analysis of the theoretical foundations and modern definitions of the philosophy of civil service and to scientifically substantiate its content in the context of Uzbekistan.
