This book is devoted to one of the central problems of contemporary thinking, for which c.P. Snow in 1959 coined the phrase of the <>. In this concept, human endeavour is directed on one side to the (forward-looking) sci- ences (mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, etc.) and on the other side to the (backward-looking) humanities (including psychology, linguistics, sociology, etc.). In this dichotomy Snow saw no possibility of unification. On the other hand the urge towards self-consistency and harmony in the mental and spiritual lives of both man and society as a whole is clearly one of the major forces of creativity, both scientific and artistic. This force aims at the unification of the <> in order to build an integrated self-consistent system for our intellectual life.

In order to construct our model, we examine the laws of information theory, leading us to the deduction of the main laws inherent in both <>. Thus, we consider the evolution of both non-living and living matter, human behaviour, the phenomenon of language, the sphere of aesthetics, etc. We hope that our work will be useful both for researchers (who are trying to derive different integral theories) and for various other <> of scientific knowledge (meaning broad circles of intellectuals).
