Abstract
K.Lorenz's conception of culture is presented in the article. K. Lorenz, a well-known scientist and thinker, Nobel Prize laureate. The peculiarity of his conception, i.e. naturalisation of culture and it's development, is dealt with hereinafter. The naturalisation of culture includes the search for analogy between the organic and cultural systems. This kind of analysis connected with an important contemporary task, viz the safety of nature and culture, is touched upon too.
