Abstract

The article deals with the anthropological problem of alienation in the historical epochs as an attributive property of the civilization construction in its genesis on the basis of historical, philosophical, economic, sociological and ecological material. Alienation is considered as a universal, constantly renewable category and its environmental and economic aspects are highlighted. The authors analyze the relationship of the phenomenal manifestations of alienation with social, economic, spiritual and environmental forms of objectification of the world crisis.
The multidimensional category of “Sustainable Development” adopted by the UN as a paradigm strategy and including the unity of economic, socio-spiritual and environmental segments of the genesis of civilization is investigated as an essential model of overcoming the deepening alienation. Being nominated as an absolute priority the sustainable development strives for the protection of the environment and contributes to its preservation and the future civilizational and, if possible, crisis-free promotion. In search of the ways to overcome the biosphere alienation (the ecological aspect of the objectification of alienation), the authors bring forward the idea of forming a constantly updated innovative platform of the ecological culture represented by the integrated theoretical efforts of anthropologists, specialists in the field of applied mathematics, urbanists, economists developing the technologies of responsible consumption in the interconnected scientific space of human ecology as well as environmental practitioners accumulating environmental quests, trainings, flash mobs, active participants of green movements, volunteers from among citizens of different age and social status.
