The classical separation of the methods of natural science and social-humanitarian knowledge ceases to be radical and unconditional in the modern science. On the one hand, historical, descriptive and narrative methods and personalized approaches penetrate the modern natural science, and a humanitarian, ethical examination of the scientific researches. On the other hand, the social and humanitarian knowledge more and more widely uses, at least, as tools the methods of mathematization and digitalization. The growing popularity of all-penetrating interdisciplinary areas of research also becomes an indicator of erasing the rigid boundaries between the methods of natural science and socio-humanitarian knowledge.
