Three models of evolutionary monism: Vladimir Bekhterev, Ernst Haeckel, Teilhard de Chardin

The author attempts to formulate the concept of “evolutionary monism”. Three models of monism, presented by Bekhterev, Haeckel and Teilhard de Chardin are viewed. As a result of comparing these philosophical theories (by V.M. Bekhterev, E. Haeckel and P. Teilhard de Chardin), author suggests to use the concept of “evolutionary monism” in several senses: narrowly as the name of V.M. Bekhterev's approach, and broadly as the general title of the philosophical trend that developed at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries. The key features of this direction are: a monistic worldview, the use of the laws and principles of evolution to substantiate the process of development of the universe, as well as the integration of natural science concepts into the philosophical context of the interpretation of the world order system.
