Abstract
The author begins with a brief commentary on three philosophically remarkab le concepts: F.A. Hayek's concept of endogenous and exogenous orders, D. Bo hm's concept of implicative and explicative orders and K.R. Popper's concep t of the three worlds. On Hayek he appreciates particularly his emphasizing the endogenous order, on Bohm on the other hand his distinguishing between the explicative and implicative orders. He, however criticizes Bohm's conc eption for its not offering a possibility of defining the ontic opposition of culture against nature. Popper's conception of the three worlds he criti cizes for its mostly gnoseological nature: according to Popper it is the wo rld II, which makes the effect of the world III on the world I possible. Pa rtially following D. Bohm the author sees two orders-an explicative and an implicative one-in nature as well as in culture. The order embodies not onl y the intrinsic constitutive processes and the rules of the natural and cul tural construology, i.e. the explicative order, but also the external outco me of the ontic creative process with its phenotypic forms, i.e. the explic ative order. Additionally, to this dualism of orders he argues that there a re two different kinds of evolution-the natural and the cultural ones. His suggestion to recognize two world orders aims at a more proper philosophica l understanding of the ontic opposition of culture against nature including the determination of the presuppositions of their long-term possible coevo lution and compatibility.
