Energy paradigm as the basis of modern socio and economic development

Abstract

Human life activity was based on the material paradigm of development for two millennia, therefore, the methodological base and practice of its application were developed and implemented on the understanding of matter as the fundamental basis of development. The human was not considered as an integrated system at this stage of the civilizational movement. Today, the material paradigm has almost exhausted its capabilities, therefore all modern components of development have moved to the stage of formation and implementation of the energy paradigm, which provides that the basis for further progress becomes the energy component of the human life existence. Under the material paradigm, the energy basis of socio and economic progress was the material part of nature existence: oil, coal, gas, uranium, etc. It is time to re-orientation of human activity on the energy paradigm of development. It is based on the opposite process, which is already based not on the material basis of obtaining energy to ensure human life activity, but on the creation of material systems and objects from the surrounding energy environment. Everything begins to happen the other way around under the new conditions of development; this requires radical changes in almost all components of our life, starting with our consciousness. That is why there is a need to conduct comprehensive systemic studies, taking into account the re-orientation of socio and economic development to an energy basis.
