Abstract
The article studies the heuristic capabilities of the law of the negation of negation and related categories for revealing the patterns of the growth of scientific knowledge. Based on the history of natural science, it is shown that the struggle of alternative concepts can be presented in the light of this law as completed cycles of transition from the initial thesis through several antitheses to the final synthesis, which can subsequently become a thesis within the framework of a new cognitive cycle. According to the conducted analysis, the authors formulate methodological recommendations addressed to a wide range of researchers and aimed at increasing the effectiveness of any creative activity.
