TECHNO-TECHNOLOGIZED WORLD IN THE LIGHT OF PARADIGMATIC PHILOSOPHICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES

Abstract

Introduction. The human world is presented as an integrity — an organic unity of many interconnected and interdependent centers (parts, sides, elements): natural and cultural, natural and artificial, animate and inanimate. When any center dominates over others (for example, technical and technological) and / or attempts to realize its claim to the status of a whole, the agreed and optimal ratio in the coexistence and synergistic development of all centers, and, consequently, of the whole, is violated. There arises an ecosystem problem. The purpose of the study is to present and analyze the techno-technologized world in the context of current philosophical and scientific methodological principles: polycentricity, complexity, networkcentricity, and ecosystem; to designate their theoretical and practical significance, interdependence; to substantiate the principle of ecosystems as more general and fundamental and to present its effectiveness in preserving the integrity of man, his world and the full value of human being-in-the-world. Methods. The author uses methods of dialectics, synergetics and systemic approach in the philosophical understanding of the specifics of the modern techno-technological world and a person’s existence in it. The author also uses the methods of extrapolation and interpretation, the ideas of B. Latour’s actor-network theory, and ecosystem approach. Scientific novelty of the research. The author projects the key attitudes and concepts of the actual conceptual and paradigm principles on the techno-technological world, and formulates the main advantages and disadvantages. The author substantially justifies that the principle of ecosystem is the most effective in solving the problem of preserving and reproducing the integrity of the human world, the person himself and his being. Results. The author carries out theoretical and methodological analysis of the techno-technologized world and a person’s existence in it. It has been determined that when solving the problem of preserving and reproducing the integrity of a person and his world, the principle of ecosystems is the most effective and preferable. The ecosystem principle implies the synergistic unity of all centers of human existence, their interdependence and interconnection, ensures the priority of the whole for the benefit of each center, expressed in mutual strengthening and expansion of their potential. Conclusions. The author comes to the conclusion that the application of relevant paradigm principles in studying and analyzing the techno-technological world will make it possible to obtain a more multidimensional and accurate interpretation of the ways and means of achieving a full-fledged human being, with a focus on preserving his identity, originality, subjectivity and integrity.
