Philosophical reflections in the challenges of the post-modern society

Abstract

The article is devoted to the theoretical understanding of the specifics of philosophical knowledge in the situation of crisis processes at the XXI century beginning. The introduction to the philosophical thesaurus of the concept of "non-human" articulated the problem of the humanistic measurement of the relationship between man and nature / Earth. The processes taking place in the conditions of informatization and globalization of postmodern society give rise to paradoxes of this relationship. One of the factors of this process is the technologization of all spheres of life. The methodological basis of the research is a significant range of Ukrainian and foreign studies. The latter can be divided into several directions: first, it is the study of the philosophical knowledge specifics in the context of the transformational processes of our time; second, studies, the authors of which combine both the theme of the identity of philosophy and the problem of human life creation in a postmodern society. The use of hermeneutic and phenomenological methods made it possible to outline the interaction "man – nature / Earth". The use of the comparative method contributed to the disclosure of the specifics of philosophical reflections, their contradictory characteristics.
