The article analyses the validity of the use of the categories of modality (necessity, fortui-
ty and opportunity), clarifies their contents in biology. We studied the first in the history
of philosophy, understanding of the categories of modality by Democritus, including by
the means of modern logic. We show the basic uses of the categories considered in mod-
ern biology.
Keywords: philosophical categories, biology, necessity, fortuity, opportunity, modality,
logic, methodology, scientific cognition
