Biology in the context of twentieth-century philosophy and methodology of science

The work is devoted to understanding the transformations of the subject and method of biological Sciences in the context of philosophy and methodology of the XX century. Tracing the trends of inter-and transdisciplinary trends in modern science in General, special attention is paid to the humanitarization of biological Sciences. A change in the traditional manner of philosophical analysis becomes inevitable when considering such acute problems as the development and possibilities of genetic engineering, biogeocenosis engineering, and the interaction of the biosphere and humans. The need to solve these problems led to the formation of a new cluster of Sciences: ecoethics, bioethics, sociobiology, and biosemiotics.
