TECHNISCHENWELT - MENSCHENWELT: THE PROBLEM OF INTERACTION IN THE CONTEXT OF MODERN CIVILIZATION

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of technischenwelt - menschenwelt collision. In nature, a «decision» is made by a worked-out mechanism of natural selection; in modern society based on the potential of techno-science, «decision» is made by a deficient (because of the lack of information) mechanism of pragmatics based on extrapolation of the achieved useful results. Here a problem arises of methodological and social legality of transfer of the obtained results, albeit useful, to the future. The super-task is to develop responsibility within a kind of «ethics of promises», sensitive to the techno-scientific «Game of God» and outlining ways to achieve prudent behaviour in the circuit of the dilemma «early enough to» (project) - «late enough for» (materialization of project).
