Abstract: Recent progress of cognitive researches and first of all, of neuroscience contributed to the discovery of empiric data according to which certain neurobiological structures can influence the formation of some or other political opinions and/or stimulate one or another social and political activity. This resulted in establishing neuropolitology which analyzes circumstances and peculiarities of the impact neurobiological structures have on the sphere of political activity. Before the formation of neuropolitology as a relatively independent direction of social-political science such phenomena had not been recognized for about a hundred years. Meanwhile predetermination of certain social and political opinions and actions makes us recall the idea of I. Kant about apriorism which takes new format and new meaning in present-day circumstances. The author of the article is aimed at giving reasons for this very thesis.
