Abstract
The existing philosophical origins of the metamorphism problem attest to the fact that in science the intention of reflection has a potential possibility to identify not just the mistakes but rather those causal relationships on which the desired results depend. The analysis of the situation in research shows the importance of philosophy there: people are guided by motives, the original world outlook orientations, personally actualized willingness to set goals and choose the ways to achieve them etc. Philosophy promotes setting and formulation of questions, without answering which the decisions cannot be productive. The person responds to the general questions of existence, social life, when the personal interest in these issues is awakened; and without this there is no awareness, no deep understanding of the fundamental statements of philosophy as the basis of personal insights into the events occurring in real life, which is vital for conscious and responsible decision-making. It is exactly philosophy that is called to teach to "read" the book of life with all its contradictions, revealing to the person the surrounding reality as a set of real-world conditions, which are the basis for setting productive and achievable goals.
