Historical-philosophical Strategy roots as a Fundamental Science

Motives of human behavior in socio-economic environment took up minds of the  greatest philosophers and scientists during the entirety of the human history. Scientific-philosophical paradigm of artificial societies, based on methodological problems of cognition of real society functioning mechanisms, namely specific agents, exactly assumes studying human behavior in socio-economic environment, that is their different strategies. Strategy as a relatively new science, expects forecasting and strategizing of various kinds of strategizing objects, in fact – various kinds of agents and their activity. Such agent-based approach, based on using intellectual (rational) agents, implies using intelligence as a calculating part (planning) of ability to reach set goals, which is a strategizing in a strategy science. Social sciences, including strategy as a science, gradually become closer to natural sciences both in tools and methodology principles, relying on interdisciplinary of researches and defining necessity of creating artificial societies and virtual worlds as research models of real society and economy. New research terminology and tools that need conceptual elaboration appear. Practical orientation of strategy as a relatively new science is not doubted and is proved by series of historical and economical events. In this case, however, proof of its fundamentality is needed. In a cycle out of two articles, an attempt to substantiate strategy as a fundamental science, defining agents behavior as central units of modeling artificial societies, based on research of its philosophical roots is made, which is a goal of this research. The first work is presented.
