В статье дано сопоставление взглядов советского философа Э.В. Ильенкова и представителей естественнонаучного течения русского космизма. Сходство указанных позиций основывается на понимании необходимости существования во Вселенной мозга и важности человеческого разума для преобразования природы. Различие взглядов связано с разницей подходов. Ильенков пытался философски осмыслить атрибутивность сознания природе. Он изобразил круговую схему умирания и возрождения бытия с переломной точкой в виде сознания. Космисты рассматривали мыслящий мозг с точки зрения естественных наук. Для них важным было показать возможности постоянного прогресса жизни и разума. Существенным моментом для обеих сторон была апелляция к нравственным аспектам человека. The article compares the views of the Soviet philosopher E.V. Ilyenkov and representatives of the natural-science trend of Russian cosmism. The similarity of the above-mentioned positions is based on understanding of necessity of existence of brain in the universe and importance of human mind for transformation of nature. The difference of views is due to different approaches. Ilyenkov tried to philosophically comprehend the attributiveness of consciousness to nature. He represented a circular scheme of dying and revival of being with a turning point in the form of consciousness. The cosmists studied the thinking brain from the point of view of natural sciences. It was important for them to show the possibility of constant progress of life and mind. The essential point for both sides was the appeal to the moral aspects of human activity.

Dreyfus argues that there is a basic methodological difference between the natural sciences and the social sciences, a difference that derives from the different goals and practices of each. He goes on to argue that being a realist about natural entities is compatible with pluralism or, as he calls it, “plural realism.” If intelligibility is always grounded in our practices, Dreyfus points out, then there is no point of view from which one can ask about or provide an answer to the one true nature of ultimate reality. But that is consistent with believing that the natural sciences can still reveal the way the world is independent of our theories and practices.

Natural-science, technocracy and humanistic conceptions of noosphere are considered as the hypothetical future state of society in that Reason will take the priority place. Natural sciences defined the site of noosphere in an evolution of Universe. Now a task to choose the way of transformation of modern civilization in the reasonable shell of Earth, id est noosphere, stands before social sciences. Two ways are possible: technological way of unlimited increase of technical power and humanistic way of inlightening and perfection of man. Both ways are analysed from the point of view of bibliofuturology. Paid attention to the strategic tasks ofRussian Federation, proclaimed by the President Putin. The necessity of the purposeful forming of "noospheric man" as creator and inhabitant of reasonable noosphere is substantiated. The decision role of libraries is shown in this process. Bibliosphere is the primary and central area of noosphere. Studies about a noosphere include bibliofuturology as one of the divisions.

Islam requires its adherents to study and develop science. Human knowledge continues to evolve with the times and the discovery of the secrets of nature. The Qur'an applies to all ages, even many things that can not be understood by man today, as many things also have begun to be understood over the course of time. All human beings have an interest in knowing the basics of natural science, because starting from the oxygen gas to breathe, the food and the necessary medicines, the environment and the natural disasters all are related to the natural sciences. Without the power of science how can humans can understand the universe to see the greatness of Allah swt. Therefore, the increase of human resources in Islamic society becomes a necessity.

<em>Thus far, all the debate about climate change in the myriad of UN conferences and special meetings has been about the application of the theories of the natural sciences to the global warming phenomena. Now, that there is a decision by the governments of the world countries to go ahead with a radical decarbonisation policy in the 21st century, the lessons from the social science theories must be taken into account. The COP21 project is a case of policy implementation, but implementation is difficult. Greenhouse Gases (GHG) like CO2:s stem from the anthropogenic sources of carbon emissions from the factors that drives not only the universe but also all social systems, viz. energy. This article spells out the energy-emissions conundrum of mankind.</em>

This chapter introduces the study of cosmology—in the social and the natural sciences. We see that the study of the cosmos has deep and interesting origins but also that how we study the cosmos is no simple matter analytically, for how we think about the cosmos is also directly implicated in how we think about our own role in the universe. This chapter argues that we should think social and natural science approaches to cosmology ‘together’ rather than apart from each other. This it is suggested is necessary both to avoid an uncritical approach to scientific cosmology on the one hand and to avoid equating the cosmos to our beliefs about it.

Adrian Vlot used a lot of information when he wrote his article. I do not intend this brief presentation to give additional information or remarks on the topic. My aim is to support his ideas. I am a mathematician, physicist and theologian. I interpret science as a human activity describing and understanding the phenomena of the created universe based on observation, explaining the relationships in the universe afterwards and, in addition, discovering further areas via human intellectual abilities. In my interpretation technology is something through which man makes use of the experience, knowledge, discovered relationships and laws in practice to create new tools or new materials which facilitate further research. That is how science and technology are related. In historical chronology, technology preceded science but later science also achieved results preceding their application in practice. Among others, the chronological intertwining is represented by Faraday and Maxwell’s activities.

paper uses a completely innovative point of view to analyze The Change of Zhou - a comprehensive ancient Chinese philosophical work, which is composed of well-known Book of Change and its philosophical commentaries, so called The Commentaries of Change. The chapters of The Commentaries of Change like ?Jicizhuan?, ?Tuanci? and ?Xiangci? are quoted in this paper and their meaning is explained, which is important for understanding the ancient Chinese cosmological concept of ?the Unity of Heaven and Man?. According to the Chinese perception of the Universe - Heaven, Earth and man are holistically connected and interdependent. Man is considered to be responsible for all his actions and it is emphasized that even the most trivial human activity causes the changes in the whole cosmic order. A human being is born not to indulge in carefree pleasures, but to choose himself a goal of spiritual growth i.e. self-cultivation through the stages of honest man (junzi), and wise man (shengren). He should also endeavor to establish and maintain harmony with nature and thus have a beneficial effect on all the beings and things in nature.

The starting point of the essay is clarifying the difference between the mono-perspective and multi-perspective vision of reality. Off-course the terms perspective, mono-perspective and multi-perspective are not self-explanatory and the meanings of these terms need to be formally analysed. After making the formal difference between mono-perspective thinking and multi-perspective thinking a content difference needs to be made. Namely, why is the Renaissance vision of reality multi-perspective and the Middle-Age vision of reality mono-perspective? The answer to this question needs to be given by the analysis of the original works of the Renaissance thinkers. Our undertaking will not be limited in analysing only one discourse but following the subject from a methodological point of view in a multi-perspectivism way. Therefore, three different discourses will be analysed:  The discourse of philosophical anthropology with Mirandola’s vision of man as a paradigmatic example-The discourse of philosophy of nature, with Bruno’s vision of the universe as a paradigmatic example-The discourse of art history in which four paintings will be analysed: these paintings can be considered of having philosophical, value because they provide a picturesque representation of what the Renaissance “world” was really like.

Specificity of socio-humanitarian knowledge which by now acquires new (scientometric) di­mensions has been presented here as the problem under discussion. Recognizing due polemic overstatements, the author, nevertheless, tries to argue, that the difference between natural sciences and socio-cultural knowledge by no means could be reduced to the so-called specificity, but rather should be bestowed the name “knowledge of foreign nature” due to the principal ontological differences of natural and sociocultural worlds. In contrast to the former, he latter obviously has constitutive meaningful dimension. It has also been demonstrated, that this point of view can be clearly traced back to the European philosophi­cal traditions of XIX−XX centuries.
