The ghost of the noosphere. A look from Russia

With the beginning of the third millennium, humanity is experiencing a unique moment in its history: one era leaves or almost leaves, and the other has not yet come. The industrial world order, which seemed so progressive and unshakable, began to collapse rapidly. Civilization entered the era of destruction (the decay of traditional connections and structures), which was called postindustralism. Humanity has not yet experienced such deep restructuring on the ways of transition to a new civilizational state. By analogy from the XVIII century. Century XXI can be called the Enlightenment-2. If the main accents of the education of the “long XVIII century” concerned the development of natural science and medicine, expanding geographical knowledge and leaving theology, then the attention of modern education is aimed at deepening knowledge in the field of information technology, social sciences (sociology, political science, political economy, law) and social psychology) and social psychology) and social psychology) . The Long XXI Century is designed to deepen the entire educational palette of conceptual purposeful knowledge - in the field of sustainable nature management and ecology, geopolitics, alternative energy, medicine and Eugenics, system analysis, our ideas about the threat of apocalypse. With the advent of electronic computing equipment and global information networks, post-industrialism can be considered a prologue (or the first wide step) in the transition to a higher phase of human development-to noospheric civilization. The term “noosphere”, which literally means “sphere of reason”, reflects the hopes of the educated part of society, that it is science, knowledge and education that will create a society of prosperity and justice throughout the planet. In Russian culture, the noosphere paradigm is associated primarily with the scientific heritage of V.I. Vernadsky. In his works, Vernadsky set out the problems of the development of the biosphere not only as a technological and environmental problem that arose during the anthropogenic impact on nature. He clearly pointed out the need to create special political institutions that will be able to provide global agreed development. The world has entered the third millennium with serious intentions to create a stable centuries -old civilization on the principles of “freedom, knowledge and justice”. This future is already emerging now, and the ghost of noospheric civilization is already wandering around the world. If earlier the ship Russia was shone a lighthouse invented by the MARSS and Lenin - the ghost of communism, now this guideline has disappeared - dissolved as a mirage. On the other hand, the conservative call is Capitalism - for Ever! Inexorably losing supporters.
The future noosphere is a new civilization with its inevitable problems and contradictions, from which there is no place. How much will it last? Surely, all the third millennium. And there we"ll see!
