2 Noosphere
2.1 Noosphere as Utopia
The founders of the noosphere theory believed that its formation leads to the streamlining of natural and social reality, to more perfect forms of being. Noosphere arises as a result of a planned, conscious transformation of the biosphere, its transformation into a qualitatively new state. This process was considered as an undoubted benefit, bringing to humanity the resolution of difficult problems. IN AND. Vernadsky and even T. de Chardin linked him to the socialist organization of people's life, expanding the task of overcoming the spontaneity of nature to society. In some cases, the noosphere was seen as the complete elimination of evil, as universal harmony, which is especially typical of its cosmic variants.
Some areas of thought that were close to the noosphere doctrine or its prerequisites, for example, “Russian cosmism”, are in fact not subject to a sober analysis at all. A critical look at them, as it were, testifies to the absence of a higher spirit.
The environmental trends of modern times, however, are so alarming that they require thinking and acting, despite theoretical stereotypes. A radical change in the concept of noogenesis is needed. Its initial premises: the noosphere theory from the very beginning carried elements of utopia.
Under the general pattern of life and death of utopias, the doctrine of the noosphere falls into that part where it is truly utopian. It also follows that if at the first stage of the formation of the noosphere it is difficult, unreasonable to expect a critical attitude to the theoretical expression of the processes taking place, then at the stage of their deployment, when so far hidden contradictions are revealed, we must turn to reflection on the theory.
Now the noosphere is in the stage of intensive development and in scale of the processes inherent in it competes with the “pure” biosphere. There was a threat to the existence of nature as an independent entity. Meanwhile, the attitude to the noosphere continues to be predominantly enthusiastic, as if its development is not in any connection with the crisis of modern civilization. “According to V.I. Vernadsky, the noosphere is a harmonious combination of nature and society, it is a triumph of reason and humanism, it is a fusion of science, social development and state policy for the benefit of man, it is a world without weapons, wars and environmental problems, it is a dream, a goal people of goodwill, this is faith in the great mission of science and humanity armed with science. ” A similar uncritical attitude towards the noosphere prevails in our everyday consciousness,in science and philosophy.
