Abstract
Addressed is the genesis of Noohumanism as a new worldview matrix of the present. The study was carried over the ideas underlying Noohumanism and traced back to the early elaborations of Teilhard Chardin, Volodymyr Vernadsky, etc. We have investigated backgrounds for the semantics of “the Noohumanistic Worldview” as associated with its noospheric, humanistic, environmental, philosophical components and with the state-of-the-art studies in the philosophy of education. The author considers an Equilibrium (Balance) as the universal principle of the Cosmos in terms of an analogy therewith, i.e. the ideas of the socio-natural homeostasis within the “human-society-nature” system, which lays the foundation of the currently trending Noohumanistic Worldview. The objective hereof is the author’s elaboration of the worldview-wise (ideational) potential of Noohumanism as an evolving and call-of-the-time worldview matrix that is based upon the socio-natural homeostasis. As a result of the research, we have elaborated the scientific-theoretical grounds of the noohumanistic worldview concept, with its principal methodological regulator – the idea of the socio-natural homeostasis (analogous concepts: “socio-natural accordance”, “metaprinciple of harmony”). This concept opens new perspectives in the philosophy of education. In other research studies, we have developed the pedagogical system of forming the noohumanistic worldview in students and set out relevant pedagogical conditions and teaching methods.
Keywords: noohumanism, principle of socio-natural homeostasis, noohumanistic values.
