Science, Development and HumanityABSTRACT The constitution of a new scientific picture of the world is attached with the necessity of subjectivity. This subjectivity posits no limits for the scientific aspects of cognitive processes, but embraces a comprehensive world of spiritual activity. To choose the most effective model of amicable behavior, it is important to have an adequate knowledge of reality (i.e., the objective regularities of the surrounding world). Modern wisdom reflects the vagueness of reality and, in consequence, the impossibility of using classical approaches. Increasingly, the contradict phenomena of the surrounding world reflects the complexity of natural and socio-natural systems, especially on the global scale. Restrictions of the classical approaches to this complexity can be overcome within the synergistic theories or hierarchical systems theory that are becoming more and more popular. The necessity of appeal to modern theories, initiated as the result of ecological crises, stimulates the processes of new paradigm formation in science, acting often in spite of the needs and motives of society. The role of scientific world cognition in the history of Humanity is not considered to be unequivocal. One must not overestimate its significance in mans living being improvement, raising its status, expansion of its rights, but one should confirm the development of science only, and further more, the appearance of technical inventions completely changed the relations among the man and the world surrounding him, generating ecological crisis. On the other hand, the problem of Humanity future development is extremely complex, its solving is only with the use of scientific potential.Attribute of Mind, giving a man the right to be crowning point of genius determined the direction of the Planet history development several centuries ahead. To great extend, rationality, as well as the science itself is the result of Age of Enlightenment and it cau sed upheavals in Europe and influenced further world development.The Picture of world during New Age was seen as if the event was determined exactly by the starting conditions. According to Laplas rule of determination one could recall the past and predict future in details in case if one possessed the total combination of data at any moment of time. In scientific view of New Age laws of nature were given their own status, differed greatly comparing with the laws expressing models of relations between people, determined by the norms and values of religion and morals. Thus, Ch.Snows mind, premises for existence of two cultures conflicts appeared.
