The aim of this article is to characterize evolutionary epistemology and to indicate its relation with philosophical realism. I first part of text I examine relation between philosophy and biology as nature science. In second part I draw main assumptions of two main currents of evolutionary epistemology (evolutionary epistemology of mechanisms and evolutionary epistemology of theories). I third part I formulate several arguments against evolutionary epistemology’s demands for epistemological and ontological realism.

The aim of the essay is to reconstruct the concept of hypothetical realism in the version presented by German ethologist Konrad Lorenz. Hypothetical realism is the ontological presumption of evolutionary epistemology. In the essay I show the biological background of the presumption and try to valuate its philosophical contents in the critical reference to general methodological assumptions of evolutionary epistemology.

The objective of the article is a critical analysis of some Karl R. Popper's thesis about Darwinian theory of evolution. Darwinism is the one of main subjects of Popper's later work. Popper not only used the theory of evolution in his philosophy, but he also tried to contribute something new to neo-Darwinism. The author attempts to consider which Popper's ideas connected with the theory of evolution are still relevant and actual, and which are questionable from the perspective of the modern theory of evolution.
