2.4 Noosphere concept
Genius V.I. Vernadsky as the founder of the theory of the biosphere - the natural scientific basis of the concept of the noosphere - is that for the first time he understood and the whole body of scientific knowledge deeply substantiated the unity of man and the biosphere. This is the greatest discovery of V.I. By its social consequences, Vernadsky belongs to the heights of world natural science, to the enduring conquests of modern and future human civilization. Without it, the essence of the concept of the noosphere cannot be created - and now cannot be understood.
Foreseen V.I. Vernadsky offensive era of scientific and technological revolution in the twentieth century. became the birth of a new era of humanity - the noosphere. And with the first basic prerequisite for the transition of the biosphere into a qualitatively new evolutionary state, “the maximum force of creation of the noosphere,” according to VI. Vernadsky, serves scientific thought. Its material expression in the biosphere being transformed by man is labor. The unity of thought and labor, labor and thought creates a new social essence of man, predetermines the transition of the biosphere into the noosphere.
Together with the unity of humanity, scientific thought, the growth of the activity of the masses of the most important prerequisites for the emergence of the noosphere and the conditions of its existence, according to VI. Vernadsky, serves as a unifying moral and ethical basis and the absence of destructive wars. Peace between nations in the transition of the biosphere to the noosphere is one of the main determining factors in the construction of the noosphere in the historical period of several generations. All human activity in the creation of the noosphere should be directed by the unifying humanistic idea as a manifestation of the highest purposeful activity of people for the benefit of both the whole society and a separate human personality. In the noosphere, noted V.I. Vernadsky, the highest social value is the development of a free human personality. Based on the above, the following conclusions can be made about the possibility of using the noospheric concept of V.I. Vernadsky as the basis for the development of the fundamental theory:
1. The natural scientific foundation of the noosphere concept is the one created by V.I. Vernadsky's theory of the biosphere as an integral planetary envelope, which has received world recognition and is rapidly developing at the present time.
2. The concept of the noosphere reflects the new, objectively occurring in the world, spontaneous process of the transition of the biosphere into a new evolutionary state - the noosphere under the influence of social scientific thought and human labor. This process, related to the beginning of the era of scientific and technological revolution, is predetermined by the emergence and sharp acceleration of scientific and technological progress in the twentieth century on most of the Earth.
3. The main social engine of the transition of the biosphere into the noosphere in the modern period, according to the predictions of V.I. Vernadsky, serves as a sharply increased creative activity of the masses, their desire to obtain the maximum scientific knowledge, participation in public life and government.
4. The only viable socio-economic and political basis for the construction of the noosphere is, according to V.I. Vernadsky, scientific socialism.
5. The concept of the noosphere reveals the optimal ways of interaction between society and nature.
6. The real construction of the foundations of the noosphere in the historical period of mature socialism, based on the essence of the noospheric concept, is possible through the transition of the economy to the path of intensive development, strengthening the applied significance of science, the formation of a new type of scientific management.
7. The concept of the noosphere as the highest social values puts the development of a free personality in a harmonious environment. Thus, the concept of the noosphere meets the ideals of humanism.
8. The concept of the noosphere as a fundamental condition for its creation and manifestation is put forward by the absence of destructive wars between nations.
The founder of the general theory of the biosphere V.I. Vernadsky repeatedly stressed that the common-notions of "nature" may correspond either to parts or to the entire biosphere of the Earth. There is no other “nature” besides the biosphere — the planetary shell developing under the influence of living matter.
The natural component of the noosphere complex is the biosphere as a whole and its individual ecological regions (ecosystems and their combinations). The biosphere here appears in three main essences: 1) the cradle of reasonable man, the unremovable basis of his physical and spiritual enrichment,
2) the material carrier of all economic and social transformations of society, without exception, 3) the only one of the currently known sources of all natural resources. Consequently, the biosphere serves as real space - time, containing the entire process of socio-historical development. In understanding the laws of the evolution of the biosphere and its organization lies the key to its really reasonable transformation by its labor and human social thought, to the construction of the noosphere.
