Summary/Abstract: The actuality of the problem concerning scientific rationality is determined at least by three factors: the changes in science, philosophy and culture in general, leading to a new vision of the world; the weighing burden of classical rationalism; the intensifying acute global problems, created by the development of western technogenic civilization. The task of the article is related to the attempt at revealing some more widely validated assumptions for the scientific rationality and the infinite discussions about it. Nowadays the system modeling approach is being developed, which is very likely to be accepted as a solution for the contemporary situation.
