Essay

The state of spirituality in the conditions of technogenic civilization is being investigated. Having examined the phenomenon of spirituality the dissertant defines it as a result of display "of will to power over a person"; this provides the man with ability to look at the world in a different way, to feel differently, to take an active part in constructive perception of the world. The form of spirituality embodiment is performed through internal world of man. It has its praxiological measurement and its extent of thought ecology, disposition of its potential. Having examined spirituality formation and development, the dissertant defines spirituality dependence on well formed mode of production and reproduction of society existence. Nowadays mankind experiences transitional period from industrial society to informational one. Olds scale of value orientations is not working already and a new one has not been built yet. The society was swept over by the material spirit and gedonism. The place of spirituality was occupied by pseudospirituality and lack of spirituality. The consumer of "popular token values" appeared on the social "arina". The society is loosing its reasonable perspective. Despite of the efforts of world religions and intellectual minority to lead the way to humanism through spirituality, man in his individual being, as a rule, has been and is in the womb of inspirituality, manifesting "will to life" on the level of organism and "will to power" over others on the level of individuality, not reaching the level of spirituality. The situation is aggravated by the fact that technogenic civilization revealed its "heel of Achilles", having provoked the antropologiс crisis. Scientific-technical revolution of XX с. made a stake on activity, creativity of man and his orientation towards progress. In practice it lead to dangerous technical projects, exhausting reforms for the society. Only noospheric-integrative paradigm can return to life and rehabilitate real spirituality, liberating the society and individual from lack of spirituality and pseudospirituality and creating optimal conditions for the realization of the model of "human society and social man".
