Scientific paper

The problem of detection and investigation of extraterrestrial intelligence is exceptionally important for mankind from a practical standpoint, for its culture and philosophy. Its importance can even be compared to the importance of the main problems confronting our civilization at the present time, since the information obtained as a result of the discovery of intelligence in the Universe will probably furnish a practical proof of the possibility of further progress and point to ways in which our civilization could be developed over astronomically long periods of time. The use of this information could radically alter our entire concept of life and activity. Interest in solving such a super-problem is growing with each successive year while drawing on the skills of an increasing number of highly competent specialists working in different branches of natural science. At the same time, the basic initial premises as to what we intend to conduct a search for and how to go about it are still controversial and contradictory. The purpose of this article is to attempt a formulation and critical analysis of the basic concepts and research strategies proposed by various scientists.
