Abstract
The paper presents a new periodization of the development of science. The antique science is regarded as a starting point (“thesis”) in the formation of the modern natural science. The classic stage in the development of science is treated as its opposite (“antithesis”). The future science is considered to be a special “synthesis” of antique and modern concepts. Also, the paper develops a method of “controllable growth of scientific knowledge” which makes possible to foresee main features of science in the future.
