Emergence of the New in Thinking, History, Evolution Nikolai Andrenov

We can say that it is transformation of the old, but this explanation is insufficient, because it is unclear where and how the formed «gap» is filled by that what we call the new information.

But it's still unclear what happens in this case. The book will be interesting for researchers and for all who are interested in this issue.
