Abstract
“Homo Nooeconomicus” as a Human Image for the Noospheric Epoch
Highlights
Recent scientific works contain a considerable amount of findings devoted to the problems of the economic crisis both at global and national levels: economists are trying to identify its origins, to form some series of forecasts [Shahkeldov, 2016], to determine the relationship between the economic crisis and the crisis of economics; politicians are inventing measures of state regulation aimed at combating destructive phenomena; psychologists are exploring some problems of human adaptation to the crisis [Vorobyeva, 2016], etc
That the basis of these forms and ways lay in the “economics of the noosphere” and the “noospheric economy” concepts, which are found in the works of such scientists as Nikita Moiseev [Moiseev, 1998], Lindon Hermyle LaRouche [LaRouche, 2001], Yuriy Osipov [Osipov, 2016], and some other authors
A significant advantage of these modern nooeconomic paradigms is the “humanization” of economic activity: the noospheric economy is inevitably connected with the certain degree of the human participation in economic relations, with the human-saving way of social reproduction, with progressive humanization of the economic space [Galchinskiy, 2015: 49]
Summary
Prominent scientists and philosophers have always been concerned about anthropological problems relating to human nature, life, and possibilities of his further development. Turning to the problem of the “new homo economicus”, it must be mentioned that some general ideas of human evolution in the economic sphere can be formed on the basis of anthropogenesis research, according to which the modern man — homo sapiens sapiens — has passed through several development periods from “Proconsul” primates (which had few common physiological characteristics with a modern man) through “homo habilis” and “homo erectus”, who could produce tools for gathering and hunting, to the intelligent human being, capable to carry out economic activities, and to anticipate their results.
