Abstract:

The article is dedicated to the discussion of controversial issues of modern noospherology. Global deformation of the biosphere under the influence of human activities has led to the fact that Humanity has no alternatives to the transition to the noosphere. The article also justifies the need for the following items: a) to interpret the noosphere from the perspective of co-evolution of society and nature; b) to replace the orientation towards sustainable development into the orientation towards the co-evolutionary development.

UKRAINE AS A POWDER KEG
Wolfgang Sassin
Abstract:

In his response to the article by Hans-Jochen Luhmann “Physics of Ukrainian Crisis”, Wolfgang Sassin stresses the fact that Europe and EU are not the same. The absence of an adequate concept of Europe plays the central role for the author. Without defi ning such a concept in view of forthcoming global challenges, he does not see ways of a major European contribution to solving vital problems of humanity.
