In this book, for the first time in world scientific literature, the category of "force" is presented as an attribute of matter alongside motion, space, and time. This enabled the author to develop a different approach to solving the problem of the Big Bang, give a new formulation of the border between life and the inorganic world, and offer his own interpretation in the disputes on the mind-body problem. The category of "ontological force" formulated by the author has allowed him to develop a new definition of the concept of progress, which creates a methodological basis for fruitful research in the fields of the social sciences and international relations. This book is intended for instructors and students of philosophy and the natural sciences, as well as for all those interested in the problems of the universe, life, and man.
