Cognitive composition includes norms, values, methods and means creatively used by an individual for establishing reliable knowledge about the world. Depending on functional intention of means and methods, the following forms of cognition are selected: every day, mythological, religious, artistic, philosophical and scientific. Scientific cognition is largely varied and used in different spheres of life. Science gives a person objective knowledge about the world.
