Gurevich P.S. The cybernaut as a symbol of the global world
Abstract:
The author discusses anthropological aspects of modern globalization. He shows that
comprehension of global processes requires analysis of the problems of human nature. An attempt is
made at creating a generalized image of man that will be a symbol of the nascent world. On the other
hand, the author criticizes the projects of deanthropologization, debiologization of man. Traditional
questions of philosophical anthropology, such as «is man a creator or a creation?», «who or what is
the demiurge of the modern world?», «is the human body really a basis for human identification?»,
«is human nature capable of extreme openness and infinite transformation?», prove to be topical
again. The author uses the method of philosophical anthropology to analyze these problems. He
shows that this philosophical trend, for the decades of its existence, has improved its approaches
to the issues of philosophical comprehension of man and is based on these original traditions. The
novelty of the approach is not related only to restoration of the mystical tradition of remaking
man but also to critical consideration of the whole European experience of «reconstruction» of the
personality. The article evaluates the technical project of «remaking man» from critical positions, sets
forth arguments that permit to rationally approach the problem and its basic foundations.
Keywords:
global world, man, cybernaut, identity, transformation, nature, genetics, philosophy, philosophical anthropology, symbol.
