The authors examine the conditions and features of the emergence of modern biology and chemistry, as well as the emergence of economic and historical sciences in the Enlightenment. General worldview and ideological prerequisites for these processes are revealed. It was shown how the theoretical and methodological principles and foundations of the mechanistic scientific program (objectivism, mathematization, determinism and experimental and development orientation) are implemented in the construction of various areas of natural science. Using the example of the formation of biology and chemistry, the role of systematization, classification, and rationalistic reduction in the process of theorization has been revealed: the creation of ideal objects, the formation of initial concepts and the language of a new science. The influence of ideas, attitudes and methods of classical natural science on the development of social sciences and humanities is noted.
