THE VIEWS OFSCIENTISTS-NATURALISTS D.I. MENDELEEV AND K.A. TIMIRYAZEV ON THE ROLE OF ENERGY IN THE HISTORICAL PROCESS

Abstract

The article is dedicated for analysis and comparing the views of D.I. Mendeleev and K.A. Timiry¬azev, the prominent scientists of the late 19 – early 20 centuries, who at one time with S.A. Podolinsky and several decades before V.I. Vernadsky, L.M. Gumilev and A.L. Chyzhevsky tried to answer the ques-tions about the place and role of energy in the historical process. The author argues that the historical and naturalistic views of D.I. Mendeleev and K.A. Timiry¬azev are in accordance with the popular concept of meta-history, or universal evolutionism, the essence of which is the attempt to combine evolutionary cosmology, the evolutionary theory of living organisms and the history of mankind. By operating such super compliant systems, objective difficulties arise when trying to reconcile them. As the scientific heritage of D.I. Mendeleev and K.A. Timiryazev shows, energy can become such a universal criterion.
