Abstract

The research is aimed at clarifying the nature of the main challenges experienced by modern civilization, the construction of possible future scenarios, as also the search for the steps that could prevent a slide into global catastrophe. According to the author, the main challenges of our time, should be considered in three main dimensions: 1) in the plane of conflict between civilization and wildlife; 2) as the internal contradictions of civilization itself; 3) as the contradictions of human existence in relation to the world of supertechnologies. Author substantiates the idea that the first group of contradictions is possible to overcome by the way of minimizing human intervention in nature, minimizing technologism; overcoming of the second and third groups of contradictions lies in the plane of maximizing of (the maximum improvement) technologism. Paradox is apparent, its resolution will be exam that humanity must pass to get a skip in the future. An adequate response to the global challenges of our time involves solving a large range of issues. Radical transformation of the mental sphere is key among them. It should not only change its form, speaking relatively, rising from the human to the superhuman level, but be filled with new appropriate content.
