Abstract

In recent years, awareness of the limitations of technogenic civilization, focused on the unification of local civilizations, the curtailment of the multicivilizational world, has be­come increasingly clear. The essence of these restrictions is that it has entered the stage of instability and crisis conditions. When searching for a model of post-technogenic civiliza­tion, the focus is on the basic civilizational values. In technogenic civilization, basic val­ues are scientific and technological progress and science, while social values and ethical aspects of the regulation of social processes are practically ignored. The paper provides a philosophical and methodological analysis of the crisis of technogenic civilization and proposes systemic foundations for building a post-technogenic civilization. Philosophical foundations are based on the works of V. S. Stepin and N. N. Moiseev. The crisis of eco­nomic determination of development in technogenic civilization and the growth of threats in the evolution of technological order are justified. Socio-humanitarian criteria are pro­posed for evaluating innovations in technogenic civilization and it is shown that humanity is not ready for an adequate response to innovations in technogenic civilization. The con­clusion that subjectlessness development, the diagnosis of the condition of humanity as a technological civilization. As an alternative to technological civilization, a model of so­cio-humanitarian civilization is proposed. The key problem of overcoming the threats of technological civilization and the transition to socio-humanitarian civilization is the prob­lem of the formation of the subjectivity of human development, the solution of which is associated with two priority tasks. Firstly, on the basis of post-nonclassical scientific ra­tionality, the development of modern models for the organization of control and develop­ment of mankind and the mechanisms for introducing these models. Secondly, the forma­tion of a modern culture of international and national security, focused on overcoming the subjectlessness of human development. It is proposed to solve these problems on the ba­sis of post-non-classical cybernetics of self-developing polysubject (reflective-active) en­vironments – third-order cybernetics.
