Человек и технический космос
In the work, technology is considered as a special form of being, going beyond the utilitarian and instrumental understanding and forming a new ontological space. This space is described as a technocosmos or metacosmos: an autonomous and self-generating reality in which technologies do not simply serve human needs, but begin to constitute their own logic of existence, including humans in new forms of co-existence with technology. The key methodological principle of the study is the comparison of two ideas: "techne" as the embodiment of artificial transformation and design thinking, and "cosmos" as the harmonious integrity of the world. This dichotomy allows us to identify the tension between technological rationality, focused on efficiency, scalability and reproducibility, and vital rationality, rooted in the diversity, unpredictability and organic connectivity of all living things. The concept of technical metacosmos unfolds through an analogy with the biosemiotics of J. Uexküll, just as a living organism forms and inhabits its own Umwelt, technology generates specific new connections, structures and processes. In these spheres, the subject is no longer just a person, but also a complex actor network in the spirit of B. Latour's actor-network theory, in which artificial agents, algorithms and infrastructures become equal participants in the ontological space of being. In the light of the philosophy of technology, the metacosmos appears as a space where a new subjectivity is formed: a subject capable of acting not only through biological corporeality, but also through techno-extension, expanding its own presence in digital, virtual and hybrid environments. This expanded subjectivity calls into question previous forms of human autonomy and requires a revision of the ontological foundations, where technology ceases to be “dead” in relation to the “living” (D. Strassberg), but becomes an environment for self-development. Particular attention is paid to the current technological challenges of our time: artificial intelligence, biotechnology, virtual and augmented reality, predictive analytics systems that change both social institutions and economic models, as well as the very structure of human experience. In this context, the boundaries of control over technology, ethical risks, as well as the need to institutionalize techno-humanitarian expertise capable of assessing the consequences of using technologies, but also, more importantly, the goals of developing certain technologies are discussed. Thus, the work offers a philosophical model of the metacosmos as a new horizon of being, in which technology becomes both a condition and a test for human subjectivity, and technological rationality turns from a tool into a form of ontological self-determination of human civilization.
