In this collection, problems of the development of the philosophical foundations of science are analyzed based on the material of the philosophy of cosmic reality, the history of science, quantum physics, synergetics and other scientific disciplines. As a methodology for this process, the group of Authors proposes new cosmic thinking, the foundations of which are contained in the philosophical system of Living Ethics. New thinking considers all phenomena of existence in the context of the real cosmos and is based on a system of knowledge, the core of which, in unity with empirical methods, are spiritual or metascientific methods. Today, this system of knowledge is the subject of research by scientists and philosophers, the leader among whom is the great philosopher L.V. Shaposhnikova. The works presented in the collection convincingly show that the further development of the philosophy of science directly depends on the formation and application of a new theory of knowledge, the use of which will allow us to introduce a spiritual and ethical component into science and thereby qualitatively expand its methodological capabilities and open new horizons of scientific research.
.The publication is addressed to researchers, university teachers, graduate students, students, as well as everyone interested in the problems of scientific knowledge and spiritual prospects for the development of mankind.
