Abstract

Modern future forecasts, based on analytical studies of evolutionary and revolutionary social processes and phenomena, with scientific justification for society’s development, generate a broad discussion in the world scientific community. The series of theories (the cyclical development of civilization, synthetic evolution, globalization, information and the digital revolution, the hypothesis of technical singularity, Great Filter, ecophagy, etc.) respond to the rapidly changing social reality. These theories lead to the realization of a fundamentally new paradigm of the scenario of the civilization’s development that is different from the traditional hierarchy of the ontology. The modified social reality under the influence of the progress of high technologies, virtualization, techno-genesis, artificial intelligence, etc., produces the need to comprehend the moral, ethical, normative, and legal causal links of humanism and technology.

Key words: transhumanism, posthumanism, future, high technologies, artificial intelligence, globalization, virtualization, robotization, digitalization, cyborgization, humanity, social reality, cosmological theories.
