The evolutionary model elaborated by Sergei P. Kurdyumov is considered in the article. Some key ideas put forward by him constitute a basis for development of the methodology of sudy of complex selforganizing systems, called also synergetics. Four important theoretical notions form a fundament of this evolutionary model: connection between space and time, complexity and its nature, blow-up regimes, in which self-organization and rapid, avalanche-like growth of complexity occur, evolutionary cycles and switching of different regimes as a necessary mechanism for maintenance of "life" of complex structures. The methodology allows to understand the nature of innovative shifts in nature and society and to show a possibility of management of innovative processes and of construction of desirable future. Some approaches for possible application of this model for understanding of dynamics of complex social, demographic and geopolitical system are discussed.

The more complete pattern of the realities' interrelations than those, which are proposed by a classical epistemology, is introduced in the article. Moreover, it is just this configuration according to which the phenomenon of complexity is regarded. This position is caused by the idea that it is impossible to reveal the real roots of complexity if we limit ourselves by the world of physical reality as the only existing one. The notion of a human-dimensional complexity is imposed and the roots of its emergence are shown. For elaboration of cognitive resources, which are adequate to a complexity analysis the model of a vertical hierarchy of worlds, which are connected by the relation of creation, is proposed. It is argued that as an analogous one to the complexity dynamics in an external world we can regard the dynamics in a creative thinking sphere. Theme of dual – non-dual, the mind-body problem, the preconditions and consequences of the observer position in a cognitive process are investigated. The concepts of an integral complexity, of a creative complexity and non-dual simplicity are introduced. Cycles of the complexity dynamics, which are enough to express the wealth of structural phenomena transformations, are marked.

The meaning is investigated by methods of phenomenology and theory of complex systems. It is shown that a reflexive act as unit of separate meanings is never given to consciousness, but the meanings forms complex systems – concepts – in which the consciousness thinks. Concept may be both purely logical and coming from imagery. It is important that the concept grasped the basic properties of the object
relative to which the concept is formed. Art concepts differ from scientific and philosophical, and their constituting as complex systems of meanings we investigate separately. Artistic creativity is seen as a type of knowledge, able to be modeled in the framework of our models (autopoietic consciousness, complex dynamic act, a complex situation, the main component of which is the consciousness of subject). Insight is considered as a self-organizing of systems of meanings in the consciousness.
