The paper discusses the title issue of 'the cultural character of great changes in science' in two stages. In the first, preliminary stage, the 15 general theses are introduced, which are, in the opinion of the author of the paper, useful in a description and an explanation of great changes in science. These theses stem from the achievements of many disciplines, such as history of philosophy, history of religious believes, history of ideas, history of science, philosophy of culture, history of culture, cultural anthropology and sociology of culture. In the second stage, the paper analyses several cases of great changes in science from ancient times to nowadays, showing an apparent - thanks to the historical analysis - a close connection between science and other parts of culture, such as technology, art (such as literature), philosophy, religion and theology.
