Abstract
Postmodernism is considered as the historical stage of the transition of contemporary society from mature industrial capitalism to the qualitatively new technological and social production order. The real transformations of contemporary society’s factors (social structure, population employment, political activity, education level, qualification, people's welfare and migration, urban agglomerations, infrastructure and ecological conditions) have been brought into the correlation with the production changes that determine transition from Modern Age machine technologies to nanotechnologies. Existence of Postmodern society is presented as the borderland of historical ages, that is, as the period of the fading away of the Modern Age social forms and of the becoming of social activity’s new forms that are specific for the new age of the development of society and of the worldwide socionatural entity. The author analyzes theoretical and worldview potential of Postmodern philosophy and its inability to represent further postindustrial society evolution tendencies. Possible scenarios of Рostmodern society evolution are considered in the context of contemporary concepts on the changes in the human role in nature and society as well as in the context of the trends of socionatural Universe development. The paper reveals technical, technological and social presuppositions of the transition from the nature-historical stage of society development (prehistory) to the true historical stage of human development.

Summary
Postmodernism is considered as the historical stage of the transition of contemporary society from mature industrial capitalism to the qualitatively new technological and social production order. Это – период становления качественно нового этапа бытия общества, коренным образом отличающегося от эпохи Модерна. И как всякий процесс становления он проявляется зарождением в лоне старого (Модерна) некоторых признаков нового бытия и отмирания привычных, характерных для текущей эпохи особенностей жизнедеятельности общества.
