Abstract

Philosophical theories developed concurrently with scientific thoughts and have consequently contributed to the identification of the main purposes of cognition, thus influencing the essence of progress in civilization. One of the main questions posed here was whether the development of living species in nature is subject to a blind chance in evolution only. Rapid development of science and its exceptional culmination in the 20th century redefined the special place of human being and its natural environment.
