Dialectics of social transformation of man in modern society

This article reveals the dialectical essence of the process of human transformation in modern society from the perspective of the theory of evolution. The cephalization of modern man is presented by the author from the position of one of the principles of Hegelian dialectics - as a process of transition of quantitative changes into qualitative ones. And the human brain, in this case, acts as a new material basis and a new level of conscious reflection of reality. The features of the human transformation process are revealed, which include: a person’s acquisition of new personality traits, increased intellectual potential, formation of a new lifestyle, habits, needs and interests. A person’s acquisition of new knowledge is associated with solving more complex problems and a variety of phenomena in social life, which opens up great opportunities for self-improvement. The process of transformation of modern man is discussed, which is associated with a change in a person’s attitude towards information, a change in the ways of processing and extracting it. The cephalization of the human is considered as a process of increasing the level of organization, systematicity and integrity of the brain, increasing the heterogeneity of its structural elements, the formation of new neural connections and the emergence of many integration centers. The conclusion is made about the dialectical unity of the processes of transformation and cephalization of modern man as an integral living system in constant interaction with the social environment.
