This article presents reconstruction of Hellenist methodology formulated by Lucio Russo in his book 'Forgotten revolution'. Russo puts forward hypothesis that scientific method generally has its source in Hellenist period of antique Greece. The author argues that modern methodology often repeated discoveries of Hellenist Greek scholars. Good example of such a parallel are Hellenist phaenomena and their modern equivalents - protocol sentences in logical positivism. Methodological model of science formulated by Russo to explain history if science is based on three principles: theoreticality, deductiveness, and regularity. However, this definition seems a bit too narrow for Hellenist methodology and far too narrow for modern paradigms of sciences.

The present article is the first part of a longer paper in which we outline a model of (scientific) method as a system of instructions aimed at a certain kind of (cognitively interesting) goal. The article both gives an informal presentation of the model and introduces conceptual tools required for a more rigorous presentation. To begin with, the character of goals and their connection to method is elucidated. Secondly, we describe instructions and some of their relations such as that of independence or (immediate) succession. Finally, since methods are often used in problem solving activities, we show what problems are and introduce certain related notions. Broadly speaking, scientific methods are conceived of as means of transforming cognitive problems into their solutions.

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.
