Утрата человеческой ценности: базовый доход и депрофессионализация
The article considers the problems that may accompany the application of an unconditional basic income from a socio-philosophical point of view. The author focuses on the question of the human value in a society where work will become either a luxury for the successful or a punishment for the poor. Using the methodology of cultural-historical epistemology, the author reconstructs the concepts of human value in a capitalist society. Employment and profes-
sional self-realization are the most important components of modern selfconsciousness, which cannot be abandoned when considering the concept of unconditional basic income. The author points out that the very idea of basic
income, which has a significant popularity in society, is connected, first of all, with the loss of competing theories with capitalism. As a result, utopian thinking moves from radical transformation to the modernization of the existing capitalist system. Secondly, the discussion around basic income is caused by the very development of capitalism, which is becoming digital and completes the centralization of capital and production capacity. The problem of workers' deprofessionalization follows from the effectiveness of technical means. Accordingly, it is from this perspective that the problem of human value, which is no longer needed by modern digital and platform capitalism as a producing
unit, should be considered. In conclusion, the author proposes to address the problem of constructing images of the future without work from the standpoint of philosophy and revalorization of the individual.
