Идеи ноосферы в духовных поисках человечества

Under the pressure of the rapid growth of industrial production, the dynamic use of mineral resources, the excessive environment pollution with wastes of human activity, the extermination of living organisms, the nature has no time to recover. The current global depletion of the Earth’s biological sphere causes man-made disasters. As a result of the anthropocentric way of thinking, the human’s impact on the nature has been devastating. During the long history the humanity has moved away from its spiritual and cultural traditions and has lost the harmony with the world and the nature. The modern society is looking for a paradigm that could help to restore the disturbed balance in the system “human being - nature”. Among numerous spiritual conceptions, theories and teachings the noosphere ideas take a special place. The increased interest in the ideas of the noosphere in the socio-philosophic science indicates a gradual return of the spirituality dominants to the global human culture. The noosphere ideas should take the rightful place in the spiritual searches of the humanity, as well as in the searching of ways to achieve the harmony with the nature. The enormous potential of the scientific knowledge and the spiritual experience of the humanity should be integrated, thus creating a foundation for the improvement of the social awareness, awakening of spirituality, harmonization of human-nature relations in order to overcome the destructive tendencies of the technological development.
