Essay

The article is dedicated to analysis of methodological elaboration of Vernadsky and his contribution to philosophy of science. The problems of methodology occupied the thoughts of Vernadsky from the very beginning of his independent scientific work, but especially after his prominent scientific-philosophical generalizations (the problems of radio-geology, the state of living matter space, the conception of noosphere). Substantial feature of methodology of the XXth century science, according to Vernadsky, consists in its gualitative geterogeneity, mosaicity, which answers to generogeneity of reality investigated by modern science. Vernadsky was a predecessor of sociological and epistemiological conceptions of science, elaboreted by R.Merton, A.Koyre, K.Popper, T.Kuhn, I.Lacatos, P.Feuerabend, which originated the modern social-historical view on scientific work and its place in culture. In his works almost for the first time arised the idea of non-linearity of scientific knowledge development, which determines the paradigmatity of post-non-classic science at the end of XXth - the beginning of XXI century. The problem of substantiation the specifity of methodology of empirical and descriptive natural science was concidered as Vernadsky insisted.
