The article deals with an analytical description of problems caused by integration of foreign learning platforms into the Russian education system.  It provides the main results and conclusions reached within the frame of the  fundamental quantitative research project. The project goals were the  following: to study Russian experience in using learning platforms, foreign  ones in particular; to study abundance of foreign learning platforms; to  reveal and specify typical risks caused by their functioning in Russian  education sphere. The authors analyze statistical information obtained  through processing the data of survey of experts in online education. They  consider colligated opinions and assessments by professional community of  integration and application of foreign learning platforms, online courses  arrangement on them and the complex of those potential threats for Russian  education that could be caused by their use. The work notes that learning  platforms are an innovative form of education activities management, but  their integration in the national system of education is connected with a  number of risks. The article gives a contemporary review of learning  platforms in the Russian educational field in terms of their nominal  recognition, their real demand for by the experts in online education and their long-term benefits for national education. The principal criteria for  the choice of learning platforms usage in education are stated and  summarized on the basis of the empirical data. The study contains a  description of a complex of main tasks for Russian education; in the professional environment their successful solving is linked to the shift to  online education technology. Within the frame of forecasting and evaluation  of risks in education there have been defined some threats which are typical  for both domestic and foreign learning platforms as well as those which are  specific for the latter ones. Risks interpretation is based on theoretical  preliminary studies and experts’ survey data related to the subject. The  categorical range of risks obtained includes content risks, social, economic  and political risks, psychological and pedagogical risks, management risks. The authors raise the problem of regulation of foreign learning  platforms integration into the Russian education system. The work contains  the arguments for and against control in this sphere.

The article considers the social-religious doctrine of the French philosopher, one of the recognized founders of sociology and positivism, A. Comte (1798-1857), and the social paradigm of the Russian thinker-cosmosoph, the author of the doctrine of the common cause, N.F. Fedorov (1829-1903). The social-philosophical comparison of the basic concepts of the two theories allowed the author to identify their key intentions and semantic patterns. The comparative analysis revealed the semantic homogeneities and contrasts of the ideological systems of two thinkers - the religion of Humanity (Comte) and the sociology of the common cause (Fedorov) as determined by the moral-logical core of cosmosophy. Despite the undoubted diversity of their theoretical ideas, the compared concepts have common semantic sources, although initially they were fundamentally differently oriented in the social-historical space-time and in the potential field of the evolutionary possibilities of global humanity. Both thinkers consider science enriched with the religious feeling as the most effective tool for the real transformation of existence, but they differently project the potential of scientific knowledge on the planetary social organization development, which ultimately leads to the polarization of their fundamental ideas. The belief in the resolving potential of positive science and its idea of progress leads the French thinker to the religion of Humanity of the new, sociological-approved type. In cosmosophy, the supramoralistic task of the common cause leads to the demand for positivism of action as an application of the theoretical knowledge of the laws and technologies of the directed evolutionary apotheosis of the man and a new type of sociality. The conclusion about the sociological overdetermination of the history of mankind logically leads positivism to the principle of sociological theogony, i.e., that society progressively develops and gradually acquires the absolute attributes of the divine essence. The central concept of the positive religion is humanity not only as the generalized statistical society, but also as a bearer of metaphysical features. In the cosmosophic theory, the establishment of deep and harmonious psychosocial ties, the moral system of interactions is associated with a special form of community - psychocracy. In its creative expression, psychocracy extends to the whole world, embraces all layers of reality, and the human history turns into a theogonic process.

The article explores the problem of purposeful human evolution, acquiring a new dimension in the unfolding fourth industrial revolution. The object of socio-philosophical analysis is a complex of ideas of N.F. Fedorov's teachings about the actively-evolutionary perspectives of man, the humanistic potential of cosmosophy as a whole. The subject is specific methods and principles of the evolution of Homo sapiens, the final image of the «perfect man» proposed by the cosmosophy and defined in the main features of projective-cultural anthropology. The fundamental concepts that express the intention of transforming the «old man» are revealed in the value field of humanistic representations of the philosophy of cosmism. The article explicates by the method of content-analysis the semantic variations of such concepts as full organisms, natural tissue creation, organo-creation, psychocracy. The synthesis of cosmosophy's ideas about a person is carried out in the form of an integral cultural-evolutionary, humanistically given projection of a human being. Attention is focused on the fact that in the planned practice of real improvement of the «son of man», the cosmosophy confirms the beginning of creative-organic cultivation of projectively given anthropology, assigning to the technical equipment of the process an auxiliary and temporary role. For discussion within the topic frame of a new anthropology formation, it is proposed that the classical form of humanism will inevitably undergo a transformation in the technological environment of Industry 4.0. It is pointed out that the radical forms of transhumanism can provoke a new form of technology race, transferred to the humanistic sphere, and create risks of cyber segregation in society. In conclusion, it is argued that on the issue of the transformation of Homo sapiens anthropological identity, the philosophy of cosmism takes a firm and justified supramoralistic and suprahumanistic position. Cosmosophy postulates an organic principle in the cultivation of cultural anthropology and the principle of the natural gradualness of the evolutionary process.
