Brief Description of Research Activities

The research activities are aimed to reveal the specificity of contemporary scientific philosophy, Materialism and Dialectics in relation to the most important achievements of the contemporary system of Natural, Social and Technical Sciences. Within the trend the concept of the specificity of the contemporary form of Scientific Philosophy is developed; transition from the abstract-universal theory, categories and logic to the concrete-universal theory originally established by G.W.F. Hegel. It was proved that the contemporary form of Philosophy of Science is based on the Theory of United Naturally determined universal Process which provides the basis for investigation of the problem of the complete system of philosophical categories.
