Love and faith are the motivating reasons (motives) of intensive scientific activity of researchers and their scientific supervisors. The "elements" of love for science, in addition to a special attitude to the methodological foundations of research (object, subject, relevance, goals, objectives, scientific question, hypothesis, novelty, significance), is love for: science understanding and mastering scientific literacy; new discoveries and inventions; obtaining, analyzing and distributing scientific information; scientific school (teachers and students). The sign of a true researcher is this complex movement towards a beloved discovery, rather than the accumulation and even analysis of scientific information. Systematization of the results of epistemological research aimed at studying science as a sequence of knowledge transfer from one individual to another allows us to study the images of the ideality of the primary source of knowledge. These images influence the choice of methods for training scientists and determining the role of the teacher in the scientific search for early career researchers.

Key words: faith, ideal, research, researcher, love, motive, science, image
