Антропологическая безопасность и угрозы трансформационного общества: философско-антропологический анализ

Abstract

Based on philosophical anthropology, the article reveals the main threats to anthropological security that manifest themselves in a transformational society: rapid changes affect the social, cultural, technological and mental spheres. Anthropological security is understood as a state in which a person retains generic human characteristics, personal unity and the ability to act independently under external influences and internal changes. The focus is on the philosophical and anthropological angle of consideration, which makes it possible to understand safety as a condition for preserving the human dimension, and not as protection from bodily dangers. Personal unity simultaneously serves as a prerequisite and direction for anthropological security, encompassing the biological, mental, cultural and historical dimensions of human existence. Changes are inevitable, but some of them lead to dehumanization: the risk of loss of independence and destruction of the mechanisms of identity increases. This leads to the question of the limits of acceptable changes; when they are violated, genuine forms of existence are replaced by artificial structures. Factors that violate anthropological security include social and cultural changes, man-made processes, informational and cognitive influences, biotechnological influences, as well as cultural dissolution, which destroys intergenerational communication and the ability to make sense. Going beyond the limits of what is acceptable entails anthropological modifications that can lead to a loss of independence and the replacement of the ability to act independently by technological or algorithmic control modes, which calls into question the preservation of man as a unique phenomenon.
