ORGANIC UNITY OF MAN AND NATURE AS POLYSYSTEMIC ESSENCE OF MODERN DESIGN TRENDS

Abstract

The article analyzes the crisis in the development of modern Ukrainian society with its characteristics such as the magnitude and consistency; special emphasis is placed on such negative signs of the younger generation outlook of Ukrainians as a lack of spirituality and excessive materialization. Certain changes to overcome these deep problems are possible, by providing the view of a man through the prism of polysystemic knowledge which considers man as a member living in many worlds at the same time - the world of the family, the world of the ethnic group, class world, the world of nature and society.In the context of polysystemic knowledge, design acquires a special sounding such as philosophical, activity and creative and educational system. The prospects and the effectiveness of this system is determined by a wide palette of tools (by creatively converting to educational), aimed to spiritual formation and harmonious development of personality.Environmental design is one of the latest paradigm of modern vision of planetary reality, when the environment gets their properties already in the artistic and technical creativity. Ecological design is a general indication of the vision ofmodern man as a social and, above all, biological being, which seeks to live in harmony with the nature.The article provides the definition and reveals semantic content of the definition of “The idea of man and nature unity” in the context of a systematic approach; analyzes the modern design trends from the perspective of polysystemic fact of the idea of man and nature unity. The historical development of mankind, with the exception of its modern realities, has always been characterized by the organic unity of man and nature: a close relationship with the mentality of the country, with natural  and climatic conditions of the respective areas formed the human world from the earliest historical eras. The article explains the dual nature of modern design depending on environmental and national components. The environmental movement, that is gaining a great momentum in design and culture, dues to two trends. The first - the ecology of culture - is trying to “raise” etnonature and is connected with the revival of national identity. Another trend - the ecology of nature - is associated with overcoming of disastrous imbalance in the natural environment. These two defining trends are in close intercommunication – cultural environment is impossible without natural basis and ecology of nature is impossible without cultural man.
