Taking a stance on the article of Jerzy Bobryk ''The 'Third Culture' and the 'Renaissance' of Scientific Thinking'' the author sees a need of creating a 'third culture', which would enable describing world in only one paradigm of thought. Base of the 'third culture' should be a definition of human essence, that is, so called 'anthropological element'. The author considers that model of human being proposed by Karol Wojtyla defines well that searched anthropological element, and states that accepting it by the sciences as well as the arts may be a great base of cultivating the 'third culture'. Proposed idea of the 'third culture' seems to open new research and methodological possibilities in variety of sciences.
In the article, the author carries on a controversy with L. Smolin, who depreciates the philosophy of postmodernism; at the same time, he presents the possibility of finding common language for both the natural sciences and humanities. This possibility is offered by the theory of deterministic chaos and by ontology (metaphysics) implicated by this theory.
