Abstract

Unification of knowledge and scientific disciplines is the leading trend in forming the current idea of living and nonliving things, as well as their evolution, which is considered as the formation of a hierarchical system, where subsequent forms are determined by previous ones. This approach to the understanding of evolution implies the unity of matter based on the commonality of conceptual laws of physics and chemistry for living and nonliving things. This universalistic understanding of matter and its development, in the opinion of the author, opens the possibility of a fundamental generalization of evolutionary processes, which makes it possible to identify common properties of seemingly unrelated phenomena, processes, and behavioral features of complex systems and offers hope for obtaining a cohesive explanation of evolution.
