The Methodology of Sciences publication (2019) is dedicated to logical, humanistic and philosophical research focusing on the creation of science and on the construction and development of scientific theories. It consists of two parts: What is science? and Types of sciences. In the first, systematic part, the authors present the genesis of modern science and the philosophy of science, emphasizing especially contemporary changes in the understanding of what we call science. In the second part they show the methodological and objective separateness of individual types of sciences (formal, natural, social, cognitive, humanistic as cultural and theological sciences). After a fragmentary presentation of the mentioned parts, I will discuss a contemporary topic that was not included in the publication in question, but which may serve as its supplement. It is about understanding scientific progress in the era of rapidly developing applications of artificial intelligence (AI).
