This work was created to popularize scientific knowledge, especially in the fields of the history of science, the philosophy of science, and the psychology and pedagogy of scientific creativity. Disseminating knowledge about the biographies of scholars, which contain many clues about the secrets of dynamic progress in science, is an appropriate direction in the education of the young generation. The scientific editors want figures who changed the course of history, created culture, and shaped civilization from ancient times to the present to be well known and appreciated in every community. Forgetting them or fragmentarily perceiving their achievements are acts of social injustice.

The reconstruction of biographical facts is only the foundation for creative interpretations and reflections on the scientific activity of scholars from different eras. Regardless of the period in which they lived, each of them maintains cultural continuity and dialogue with representatives of subsequent generations of scientists. The cultural unity of scholars from the distant and near past serves to defend the humanizing function of science, expressed, for example, in concern for the survival of humanity and its dignified existence.
