The article deals with the theoretical problems of typological description as a methodological expression of integral cognizance of an object under investigation. Two lines of typological classification have been pointed out on the material of biological science - getean and cuvian, that are backed up by various typological strategies applied in natural sciences and the humanities. Theoretical problems of the formation of a typological concept are analyzed not only in a logico-methodological dimension, but also in a historical-philosophical context, yielding metaphysical foundations of different types of scientific knowledge.

In the future globalization will also embrace spiritual culture and philosophy. This will cause the downfall of philosophical doctrines that are traditionally termed as national and regional. Hence, there is little sense in talking about the influence of the philosophy in the Slav countries on Europe's and world's culture and civilization. In the global (transnational and transcontinental) society, global philosophy will shape. Currently we are already dealing with the attempts of creating universal philosophies, such as universalism and Hongming Philosophy, which ought to be the cornerstones of world philosophy of some kind. It seems to be very unlikely that the philosophy of the Slav countries would be capable of generating same kind of proposal for world philosophy.

Valuation is invariably connected with all stages of the activity of the historian of philosophy with gathering facts, their arrangement, critical analysis and results. lt is present in all types of historiophilosophical studies - descriptive, biographic, historiocultural, hermeneutic ones - and thus does not ignore such a concept of the history of philosophy which is referred to as perennial philosophy (philosophia perennis). The most prominent representative of perennial philosophy in Poland was a catholic philosopher (a Jesuit) - Franciszek Kwiatkowski (1888-1949), and the trend had its adherents even in the second half of the 20th century. The catholic view-point of philosophy itself and its history was the standard of valuation - positive in relation to some facts, and negative in relation to others. The perennial was bound up with catholicity, and catholicity, in its turn, with the Church - and so philosophia perennis proved to be one of the most ideologized forms of philosophical historiography, referring in its philosophical valuation to non-philosophical criteria.
