Addressing these problems the paper analyzes the works of the famous biologist, ethologist, philosopher Konrad Lorenz. Through Lorenz’s informational approach to the cognition of life the author examines evolution as a cognitive process. The researcher raises a problem of the phylogenetic conditionality of learning ability and, consequently, its suitability as a function to save the species. Special attention is paid to the interaction of the phenomenon of life and cognition.
