The Earth’s phenomenon is considered in a comprehensive and systemically way in the context of modern transformations as a sensation-forming concept of the planet of people development strategy, as an actual component of the mankind further existence. To achieve this goal, it is first of all important to determine the configuration of those changes that give rise to cardinal transformations in the existence of mankind. It is noted that the theoretical and methodological conceptualizations of the Earth make it possible to interpret the Earth as the coordinates of the life activity and life-creation of mankind, where the deployment of a plurality of socio-cultural actions take place in their sense-forming and practical dimensions.
It is justified to use mythological and religious narratives, which, spreading, structure the existing mechanisms of interaction and build new models. This is seen as a relationship with the paradigm of the archeology of knowledge (M. Foucault), where each layer correlates with a certain type of thought corresponding to a historical epoch / historical period. From the standpoint of a modern philosophical point of view, the interpretation of the relationship between the Earth and man acts as a socio-cultural experience and, in this sense, becomes a field of research.
The main developments of the scientific and academic discourse are highlighted, which allow us to conclude that the definition of the Earth solely as a platform for human activity, only as an external object is a consequence of the scientific community proclaiming the idea of the absence of restrictions on human activity. It is noted that the development of science and technology has provided mankind with opportunities and risks, at the same time causing new problems that require rethinking in the context of new markers of modernity, embodying the plurality of paradigms.
It is emphasized that the Earth in philosophical and anthropological studies appears as a platform for the correlation between being and thinking, that is, as the formation of the era of mankind. The latter is a temporary phenomenon, confirming the ontic and ontological meaning of the Earth, which does not depend on the human mind. It is proved that the planet Earth, as a prerequisite for the emergence of mankind, refers scientists to the Gaia hypothesis, opens up new horizons for studying not only the processes of co-evolution, but also the possibility of philosophical reflection on the formation of human civilization. Theoretical and philosophical research on the strategy of the mankind future development conditions the need for an appropriate philosophical and anthropological measurement of the Earth.
The history of the co-being of the Earth and man is the history of the creation and application of socio-cultural and socio-technical practices, where each era constructs its relationship with the Earth, offers certain models of actions and practices, which determines / reflects the diversity of lifestyles, the processes of creating values, the formation social actor's identity. And in this sense, this ratio has many dimensions. Coordinates are being created where social practices and activities are intertwined. Therefore, the multiplicity of investigations about the existence of man testifies to the multiplicity of practices about the Earth. It is noted that the co-being of man and the Earth not only testifies to their universal conditionality to each other, but also is a statement of the fact that they become an integrity in the situation of life / being. The co-being of the Earth and man in the post-non-classical context acquires the meaning of a new ontology.
The formation of a new polyessential concept «atropocene», which creates a new methodological configuration for understanding the co-being of man and the Earth, was traced. The Anthropocene as a new concept, is embodied in the change of civilizations, technology, technological means, types of society, political structures, and spiritual life. The Anthropocene as a new paradigm symbolizes new concepts of the development of the post-industrial era of the world. The concept of «anthropocene» offers a new worldview. This concept presents not a fragmentary criterion of development, but an integral one, which is characterized by connectivism, transversality. The Anthropocene in this sense is a radical reorientation of previous concepts of the development of the planet Earth: we are talking not only about a person, but also about his actions, activities, and in this sense, the definition of the anthropocene correlates with the concept of communicative actions. The anthropocene defines horizontal interactions based on the principles of evolution / co-evolution, thereby overcoming the absolutization of revolutions (industrial, technological, social, etc.), which also act as a certain technology. It is noted that the transversality of human activity in the space of the planet Earth does not exclude complementarity as a paradoxicalness. The transversality of human activity as a sign of the Anthropocene is its onto-anthropological meaning.
It is noted that the polyvariance of modern philosophical discourse allows us to consider the conceptualization of the Earth as invariance to classical doctrines. The situation of poly- (polyparadigmality, polyconceptuality, polyessence, polylogue, etc.) as the introduction of new concepts to the analysis of the Earth allows the use of research constructs of analytical tools of interdisciplinary discourse, analytical tools that testify to the development of an innovative theoretical vocabulary, analytics, adequate to the life activity and life-creativity of mankind in the post-industrial world.
