ABSTRACT
of the collection of essays and articles of B. V. Borissenko
“Do we have a future?”
The philosophical and scientific rationale of the theory of spiritual evolution of the humankind on the base of a rich factual material is stated for the first time in the collection of essays and articles "Do we have a future?". The evolution of human civilization is considered as a derivative of the evolution of the spiritual state of a majority of people in every historical period of its development. The prevailing type of humans, in terms of their mental development as individuals, determines the level of the spiritual development of humankind and the stage at which the evolving Earth at the time is. It was established that the spiritual development of humanity is very conservative and its very slow speed is comparable to that of geological processes on the planet.
The contemporary state of the planetary terrestrial evolution is identified as a state of biosphere that was named somosphere.
The humankind is currently at the end of this stage of biosphere development of the planet, which is characterized by the interests of individuals, which underlie the entire hierarchy of the selfish nature of people from "me" to "nation".
It is shown that the reactionary character and low efficiency of public administration systems, as well as that of religious, philosophical and scientific systems is determined exactly by the disregard of the phenomenon of enormous conservatism of the spiritual development of humans since their very inception on the planet.
The conclusion about the need for adaptation of all the results of both scientific and unscientific forms of cognition of the world to the current level of spiritual evolution of humanity is made.
From this point of view, the most promising formation model of the historical development of mankind currently is socially oriented capitalism as a set of relationships of capitals in the form of a socialitary state, the elite of which consists of people with different backgrounds: entrepreneurs and employees, scientists and clerics, artists and writers, composers and military..., as complimentary parts of society that do not oppose each other.
Based on the nature of humans, it was found that there is a maximum possible limit in the solution of the problem of social justice for every level of the spiritual development of humankind (biosphere, somosphere, noosphere and hierosphere). Its value is determined on the base of the theory of quantity-to-quality transitions using the author's numerical method of qualitative analysis.
To solve the problem of human survival, the need for people possessing encyclopedic knowledge to come to power is substantiated, which would correspond to the further evolution of the terrestrial biosphere from somosphere to noosphere. The noosphere will come naturally when, as a result of spiritual evolution of humankind, the balance of their interests becomes immanent for the selfish nature of every human. This is the perspective of the coming millennia.
A new ethical teaching, successive from the major world religions of Christianity, Buddhism and Islam, is formulated in order to solve the problems connected to the ecosystem crisis on the planet.
The transition from the right of nations to self-determination to the principle of the formation of nations is justified as a way to resolve multiple interethnic and military conflicts on the planet.
Unlike in the Vedic, Christian and other belief systems based on the principle of catastrophism of the evolution of human civilization, a possibility of non-catastrophic steady progressive development of mankind is philosophically justified both for the present and the future.
