Abstract
By the end of XVIII century scientists developed the picture of the material world as a huge mechanism, the evolution of which is subject to a rigid dynamical laws and in principle can be predicted with arbitrary detail and accuracy. This system of conceptions which acquired the name “determinism” was progressive for that time and was based on a triumphant success of the Newtonian mechanics which allowed to give a rational explanation to a number of earlier inexplicable physical facts.
