2002. cyrillic, paper back, p. 479, 21 cm

The main thesis is that a man knows and that he is aware of his knowledge. In this context author distinguishs two complementary ways of historical development of human understanding: it grows and becomes strengthen in same time, it becomes voluminous and much more reflexive. In the first way we may see ”outside ourself”, and in the second way we may see ”inside ourself”. In other words, by the first way we may comprehend and control all those problems of our real world and, by the other way, we may learn and analyse how to deal with all those problems. In this context, author deals with special, or alter, way of development of human understanding and knowledge, and investigates it from the epistemological, gnoseological and methodological point of view.
