About the book: 2014 / The author of the proposed work is the Canadian scientist Alex Battler (Oleg Arin), who has written more than 400 works in various fields of science, including 22 individual monographs. The result of his scientific work was the discovery of a number of laws and patterns in the field of philosophy, sociology, and the theory of international relations. The proposed multi-volume work has no analogues in the world scientific literature, since it for the first time set the task of creating an integral science - worldology (the science of the world). The first volume is dedicated to the foundations of the new science, its philosophical and scientific base, i.e., the foundation on which the entire edifice of worldology is built. Subsequent volumes reveal the key concepts and categories on which the modern scientific discipline is based - the theory of international relations. The author's new vision and discovery of laws and patterns in the theory of international relations turns this discipline into a science of peace. The author introduces new concepts and categories of world science, and also reveals the laws and patterns on the basis of which the entire system of world relations functions. The author polemicizes with almost all the world's leading scientists in the field of international relations, and his reasoned philosophical style of attack is impressive in its thoroughness and depth. The book is designed on researchers, scientists, experts in philosophy and all those who strive to understand the world.
