Abstract
The paper discusses the problem of a scientific experiment as the base of Western culture and
civilization. Scientific experiment is not only natural method, but rather the social practice located in all forms of public life. As the methodology the authors use the epistemological setting of Aristotle, in which each thing is considered as the realization of individual internal objective.
