The situation of the human in the XXI century: globalization challenges and European experience of responses

Abstract

The paper analyzes the negative impact of technogenic civilization on the development of a human as integrity. The conceptual position of the research is the transdisciplinary idea that a human as integrity is one with all his/her conditions, with the whole world. Giving preference only to the external conditions of a human associated with technical progress led to his/her decline andself-destruction as integrity.The purpose of an investigation consists in showing the reasons of the destruction of human integrity today. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the modern conditions of human existence associated with the processes of globalization and rapid, negative changes in all spheres of the life of a society in a state of total crisis. It is noted that such conditions chaotize the internal processes of a human, “split” him/her as integrity, destroy the harmonization with other people.Filled with doubts, lacking development prospects and goals, such a human, like the whole society, loses the future.It is concluded that today the human situation is critical. It is necessary to immediately reorient all spheres of life of the society towards human development, harmonization of all his/her essential aspects as integrity. Changes in the public policy, human rights legislation, education and science must be a priority. It is noted that the key role in overcoming the modern anthropological crisis belongs to scientists who, using the EU experience, are able to create a new scientific field for polylogy and the search for optimal ways out of the situation. The transdisciplinary approach, which is actively developed by European transdisciplinary schools and centers, is particularly productive. This approach overcomes the gap between the subject and the object of cognition, between man and the world, and forms a new worldview of man in a new society. Such possibilities of the transdisciplinary approach fully correspond to the tasks of modern universities.

“…In fact, as a result of the productivity of the sites, the psychological impact of the crisis, financial need and criminal opportunity, there is archaeological evidence of 'significant intensification of illegal excavations [значительной активизации нелегальных раскопок]' in Luhansk oblast. 15 Even before the invasion, UAAH008 had testified that art forgeries were being trafficked online -for example, by fixing new canvas counterfeits to old wooden boards. This will have continued and capitalised on the market for cultural goods from the conflict zone.…”
