Аннотация:According to Boethius, of those who do not know comes from his lack of knowledge, and therefore both this despair and existential loneliness are overcome by comprehension of laws of the universe. This cognition makes the ‘cognizer’ a participant of the Seventh Day of Creation, and thus brings him closer to the Creator of “the order of fate”. The words of the hero of the Name of the Rose by U. Eco are the reminiscent of Boethius: if a reflec-tion of the exists, it is necessary that the had the form. It is the shape of the world is looking for contem-porary science and philosophy of science. The author presents a brief overview of the articles published on the pages of the new issue of Space and Time Journal, considering them as different ways to find the form of the world in the natural sciences and in the humanitarian knowledge.
