Синергетика и гуманитарно-технологическая революция

The paper considers synergetics or the theory of self-organization in a humanitarian context. This interdisciplinary approach naturally arises when describing the interaction of elementary entities considered in various scientific disciplines. Today, synergetics acts as a bridge between natural scientific and humanitarian cultures. It is demonstrated that the concept of order parameters plays a fundamental role in the humanitarian context. On the one hand, it allows one to highlight the most important entities, on the other hand, to form a research program. At present, D. Bell’s forecast about the transition to a post-industrial society is being reproduced to a greater extent. The scale, depth and pace of the ongoing changes allow us to say that we are experiencing a humanitarian and technological revolution. The role of humanitarian knowledge in this revolution is growing many times over. The meanings, values, and projects of the future are becoming the most important factor in the development of civilizations. Both the world in general and the world of Russia in particular are at the point of bifurcation. At this point designing the future plays a fundamental role. A number of predictions demonstrating a “technocratic project”, an emphasis on the essences of the industrial era proved to be untenable. In what awaits us, the role of humanitarian factors is very important. Synergetics makes it possible to take them into account and present a comprehensive, systematic vision of the future.
