Abstract

In the review of the collective monograph “The Civilizational Mission of Siberia: from a Technogenic-Consumerist to a Spiritual-Ecological Strategy for Global and Regional De­velopment” (edited by A.A. Ivanov), the main idea of the book was analyzed for its ratio­nal justification, the content of the main sections of the book was revealed, and the strengths and weaknesses of the used methodology were considered. This mono­graph represents a comprehensive scientific study devoted to issues of strategic develop­ment of Siberia in the context of the more general problem of global development. The au­thors proceed from the position of the necessity to replace the globalist model of a techno­genic-consumerist civilization with a model of a spiritual-ecological (noospheric) civiliza­tion. Such a view is very interesting and allows for unexpected conclusions.
