This article represents the results of the research granted by RFFS № 04-06-80192. The high technologies foundation is based on fundamental research. Inclusion of bioethical and environmental problems in a context of scientific activity becomes the specifics of a modern science. Nanotechnology fundamental researches lead to a change of the world picture, which bases now on the laws of quantum mechanics. Creating nanotechnology, a person enters competition with the nature as aspires to receive the control over mi- croscopic processes and structures, although himself can become a slave of nanotechnology.

Modern Physics

It is conventional to denote the physics of the period 1700-1900, from A the Principia to the advent of the relativity and quantum theories, as ‘classical’ or ‘Newtonian’ physics. These terms are not, however, very satisfactory as historical categories. The contrast between classical and ‘modern’ physics is perceived in terms that highlight the innovatory features of physics after 1900: the abandonment of the concepts of absolute space and time in Einstein’s theory of relativity, and of causality and determinism in quantum mechanics. ‘ Classical ’ physics is thus defined by ‘non-classical’ physics. The definitions and axioms of Principia , Newton’s exposition of the concepts of absolute space and time, and his statement of the Newtonian laws of motion, are rightly seen as fundamental to the 17th-century mechanization of the world picture.

Intellectual Origins

A few decades ago historical studies of the background to the English scientific movement of the seventeenth century tended to involve discussions of the influence of utilitarian motives in drawing men to the study of nature. At one extreme, the technical needs of the ‘English bourgeoisie’ were said to be of primary importance (1). Other studies made utilitarian considerations part of a constellation of attitudes which supplied a religious motivation for engaging in scientific activity (2). Although some of these issues were recently raised anew, they wear a faded air, having been pushed to the periphery of historical interest by a number of brilliant explorations of the intellectual structure of the new mechanical world-view (3). Once the Earth had been ‘hurled into the skies’ by Copernicus, and the finite, graded universe of Aristotle with its associated qualitative and teleological physics had been discredited, it was the enormous intellectual adventure of fashioning a new world-picture which called forth the deepest energies of the creators of modern science. Problems were essentially set and solved by an inner dialectic of advance.

We consider the meaning, the role and the prospects of interdisciplinary investigations in the world scientific knowledge. We discuss the theory of self-organization or the synergetics development and its reflection in the book series “Synergetics: From the Past to the Future”. We show that fundamental questions of the modern science and a number of key high technologies bounded with the future of the economy directly depend on the level of interdisciplinary works performed in the country. Synergetics talks now in terms of mathematical models. So their construction, investigation and use are the main way in the development of interdisciplinary approaches.

This chapter discusses Jules Verne's works. The thematization of the world, what literary scholars currently call “worlding,” was precisely the work that Jules Verne's novels performed. As Verne himself described the fifty-four novels that constitute his Voyages Extraordinaires, their very task was “to portray the entire earth, the entire world, under the form of the novel,” using what his publisher, Pierre-Jules Hetzel, described as the “knowledge... amassed by modern science.” Translations of Verne's fiction made the world available to their readers as a single discursive unit, during a decade in which the material conditions of globality were not only economic and physical precarity but increased government involvement in bodily and family autonomy and movement, as well as direct colonial rule. Verne based his narrative on newspaper accounts of transportation innovations, updating each new edition as new information and routes became available. Arabic translations of Verne's novels are not simply a result of the globalization of the novel but are ambivalent participants in that process. These Arabic versions helped establish his fiction as a worldwide phenomenon. By his death in 1905, Verne's novels had been published in at least thirty-six languages, including five Middle Eastern ones.

Concept Of Law

The relevance of the problem of choosing the object of study in the theory of law is determined by the need to tackle the debatable issue of pluralism in understanding of law. It is noted that one of the reasons for theoretical and legal pluralism on the concept of law is the lack of uniform criteria for identifying the object of study in the general theory of law. The situation with the concept of law in legal science, including with the pluralism of opinions, is considered largely as a result of the scientists and practitioners attitude described as first understand the law and then create a single concept of law. The fundamental research carried out in legal science and wide discussions on the concept of law are taken as positive; one of the parameters is the principle of separation of the object and subject of legal science. It is shown that when constructing a scientific theory of law, the primary question is the object of study, that is, the question of law itself as a special fragment of the real world, but not a disputable issue of the concept of law. However, in practice, when identifying the object of scientific knowledge in the general theory of law, scholars choose to study the most diverse fragments of the world, although they designate them with the same term law. Since various objects called law are subjected to scientific research, one cannot expect to derive a single concept of law. With regard to the analysis of the concept of law and the data of modern science, the following set of attributes for identifying law as an object of study in law theory is proposed for consideration: Law is a set of social norms enshrined in written language by the state and designed for people to interact with each other and with public authority such as state and other entities.

The author analyzes the monograph “Utopian discourse in Russian culture of the late 19th – 21st century. Literature. Painting. Cinema”. The review determines the position of this book in modern science of projective models of the future. A key aspect is the continuity of previous studies on the category of utopia, and above all, B. F. Egorov, whose memory the book is dedicated to. The transition of modern art beyond the utopian genre is noticed. This confirms the appropriateness of the discursive technique. The author emphasizes the relevance of the traditional conversation about environmental problems and expresses bewilderment at the disregard by Western philologists of Russian fiction and scientific literature. As an unquestionable advantage of the monograph, its modern anthropological approach to the psychological details of private narrative utopias is noted.

What kinds of things are events? Battles, explosions, accidents, crashes, rock concerts would be typical examples of events and these would be reinforced in the way we speak about the world. Events or actions function linguistically as verbs and adverbs. Philosophers following Aristotle have claimed that events are dependent on substances such as physical objects and persons. But with the advances of modern physics, some philosophers and physicists have argued that events are the basic entities of reality and what we perceive as physical bodies are just very long events spread out in space-time. In other words, everything turns out to be events. This view, no doubt, radically revises our ordinary common sense view of reality, but as our event theorists argue common sense is out of touch with advancing science. In The Event Universe: The Revisionary Metaphysics of Alfred North Whitehead, Leemon McHenry argues that Whitehead's metaphysics provides a more adequate basis for achieving a unification of physical theory than a traditional substance metaphysics. He investigates the influence of Maxwell's electromagnetic field, Einstein's theory of relativity and quantum mechanics on the development of the ontology of events and compares Whitehead’s theory to his contemporaries, C. D. Broad and Bertrand Russell, as well as another key proponent of this theory, W. V. Quine. In this manner, McHenry defends the naturalized and speculative approach to metaphysics as opposed to analytical and linguistic methods that arose in the 20th century.

The socio-environmental challenges the world faces are ‘swamps’: situations that are messy, complex, and uncertain. The aim of this paper is to help disciplinary scientists navigate these swamps. To achieve this, the paper evaluates an integrative framework designed for researching complex real-world problems, the Integration and Implementation Science (i2S) framework. As a pilot study, we examine seven inter and transdisciplinary agri-environmental case studies against the concepts presented in the i2S framework, and we hypothesise that considering concepts in the i2S framework during the planning and delivery of agri-environmental research will increase the usefulness of the research for next users. We found that for the types of complex, real-world research done in the case studies, increasing attention to the i2S dimensions correlated with increased usefulness for the end users. We conclude that using the i2S framework could provide handrails for researchers, to help them navigate the swamps when engaging with the complexity of socio-environmental problems.
