‘Horizons of Science’ is a title of an interdisciplinary seminar
organized by scholars in natural and social sciences and in the
humanities from several universities and academic research
institutes in Lviv (Ukraine). It aims to serve as a meeting place
where state-of-the-art problems of modern science are discussed.
Besides an obvious popularization of scientific ideas, the seminar
promotes the quest for common interdisciplinary approaches
to various problems. This book has appeared as a natural
continuation of the seminar. Its authors, lecturers of the seminar,
leading scholars from Ukraine and abroad, now offer their ideas to
a wider audience. Different chapters of the book present state-of-the-art
research in different fields and relate the history of science
in a style comprehensible to the general public.
