Humanity and Megascience: Challenges and perspectives

The paper vastly comments on Vitaly S. Pronskikh's article “Proto-Megascience. The Transfer of Interests in the Trading Zones”. In analysing a particular project of the Megascience type, the author poses a question on the comparison of the gnoseological potential possessed by the collective collaboration and the single scientist. He also suggests a solution for the problem of the equivalence in the intellectual and technological exchange between Megascience participants.
