Abstract: In the situation of conceptual shifts at the turn of the century-frequently called ‘the end of history’, ‘the death of philosophy’ (R. Bart, M. Foucault, J-Ph. Liotard, Ph. Jameson, etc.) the issue of development of the modern neoclassical philosophy becomes extremely topical. The formation thereof also includes the discovery of the ‘global evolutionism’. It determines the gradual transition to heterarchical thinking as to finally adequate social thinking and adequate strategy of the mankind of behavior and management culture. The cultures of bridging the gaps, transiting from the magical-manipulative (pre-classical), performing-power-based (classical), liberal-irresponsible (non-classical) to the new humanistic-responsible type of management (neoclassical). The objective of the study to explicit the arising essence and trend of such transition to a new heterarchical level of the thinking complexity to consider with the use it the possible overcoming of traditional hierarchical pattern and absolute relativism within the matrix thinking. The heterarchy of thinking itself is based on the neoclassical philosophy and changes the basic views on many things but primarily on the process of self-appearance of different active principles of being.
