The problem of intensifying the human capital of the national science has been subject of great concern for Ukrainian and Belorussian researchers in science of science field. Aspects of the human capital are discussed such as main sources and ways of fostering the social capital of the national science, through addressing the two issues: where and how the social capital can be fostered. It is hown that main sources of the social capital are the national system of secondary and higher education, post-graduate education, national mass media, recognition of national scientific achievements by international scientific community, economic and political support to national scientists by the state power. Social capital is fostered through socialization of the advanced scientific knowledge, popularization of scientific achievements by scientists themselves and via mass media. Also, the human capital of science can be intensified through integrative processes within the national scientific community, which supposes elimination of group conflicts, especially funding-related ones, fostering the scientific ethics, demarcation between power bureaucracy and scientists when it comes to the accountability for the condition of science (thesis articulated by Russian scientific intellectuals). The latter way to intensify the human capital of science requires from scientists to abandon practices of serving the needs of business and state power. The arguments are supported by rich statistical and textual evidence.

The aim of the paper is to give a description of the development of understanding scientific method in the history of science and philosophy of science. The thesis is defended that crucial changes in understanding scientific method had fundamental consequences for the development in scientific knowledge, for the position of science in the system of knowledge and for its role in human culture. Basic attitudes to scientific method in contemporary philosophy and philosophy of science are shortly outlined and the rationality of scientific method is defended.

In the first part of the paper the authors describe Hrusovsky's model of the development of scientific knowledge, which, due to the influence of logical empiricism, he saw as cumulative, hypothetical-confirmational and internal, i.e. taking into account only scientific factors. In the second part it is showed, that Hrusovsky acknowledged the influence of the external factors, emphasizing at the same time the fundamental independence of scientific knowledge. He dismissed the vulgar economism as well as the extreme internalism (immanentism).

The paper offers a comparison of two different approaches in Medieval thought to a theoretical science, both drawing from Aristotle. It also discusses the influence these approaches exercised on the understanding of the scientific status of theology. It outlines Thomas Aquinas's conception of the theology as a science, followed by its critique by John Duns Scotus. In its first part the paper offers a detailed description of the core of the medieval conceptions, as well as of the Aristotelian conception of science, its logical-methodological as well as its psychological aspects, showing, that the medieval authors mentioned did not share neither of them. In conclusion the paper outlines the roots, transformations and some of the historical aspects of the relationship between philosophy and theology, which became also the subject matter of the discussions about the scientific status of theology.

V. I. Vernadsky left a unique legacy in the fields of philosophy and methodology of science. The logical structure of science, elaborated by him, is based on the principle of the objective truthfulness of scientific knowledge and its various manifestations in various parts of science, which are unequal in terms of truthfulness (authenticity). The first part is the one being quite authentic and constituting the frame of science, e.g. the core manifestation and content of scientific knowledge, whereas the second part 'clothes' the frame of science and constructs upon its. The notion of the frame of science, introduced by Vernadsky to signify the core structure of the scientific knowledge, seems to be a very accurate reflection of the knowledge system of logics, mathematics and scientific apparatus. Considering Vernadsky's theses on the issue, a series of arguments can be given in favor of treating mathematics, logics and scientific apparatus as the fundament of scientific knowledge. Yet, V. I. Vernadsky treats mathematics as a central component in the notion 'frame of science', introduced by him, as a genetic turn in its creation. Mathematics integrates 'frame of science' through logics, and this determines the exclusive role of mathematics in the science. The Vernadsky's treatment of mathematics is shown in great detail with reference to original works of him.

For the purposes of this paper, the author defines technology as a society‘s constantly developing activity focusing on manufacturing processes and related conditions. As such, technology has always closely followed the society‘s development in general and the broadening of its scientific horizons in particular and it has always been inexorably tied to philosophy. The documentation of technology in a museum environment must be viewed as a part of the scientific effort which must be very well documented. Museums of technology emerged gradually as the society‘s interest in technology in general deepened in the Age of Discovery and the subsequent Industrial Evolution. In the historic lands of the Czech crown, the emergence of museums in general and technology museums is tied to the nationalist revival and the related expansion of education to a wider share of the population which is reflected in their nature and scope. The period of 1989 then sees a wider proliferation of technology museums to such extent that while a basic typology of such museums can be established, there are institutions of this type which are very difficult to classify and label.
