Philosophical studies: from the history of art to the science of the future
Abstract
The book continues a series of more than a hundred monographs and collections of articles on Synergetics: From the past to the future. Unlike many previous issues of this series, the connection between science and art is revealed here: the theory of self-organization and culture of the Middle Ages, as well as painting of the new age and literature of the 20th century. The historical and artistic «film» describing the evolution of society is associated with the scientific and technological revolution of our time - space exploration, artificial intelligence and fundamental questions of human existence – «Who are we?», «Where are we going?», «What can we hope for?». Discusses the main philosophical questions of our time, as humanity has entered the era of bifurcation (branching), the choice of the right trajectory, the choice that overcomes global threats. Humanism is substantiated as a goal of further development.
