Human­i­ty and Mega­science: Chal­lenges and per­spec­tives

Abstract. The paper vast­ly com­ments on Vitaly S. Pronskikh’s arti­cle “Pro­to-Mega­science. The Trans­fer of Inter­ests in the Trad­ing Zones”. In analysing a par­tic­u­lar project of the Mega­science type, the author pos­es a ques­tion on the com­par­i­son of the gnose­o­log­i­cal poten­tial pos­sessed by the col­lec­tive col­lab­o­ra­tion and the sin­gle sci­en­tist. He also sug­gests a solu­tion for the prob­lem of the equiv­a­lence in the intel­lec­tu­al and tech­no­log­i­cal exchange between Mega­science par­tic­i­pants.
