Technologization of Society as the Factor of Sociocultural Changes
The article considers the main processes of technologization of the modern society as a fundamental cause of value and sociocultural changes in public life. The author also describes the changes in the value transformation of society, focusing on the relationship between social, cultural and industrial-technogenic changes. The society is considered by the author as a heterogeneous object from the dynamic point of view, different subsystems of which develop at different speeds. Therefore, for a socio-philosophical analysis of social changes, it is not enough to study only the processes occurring in the economy or political system. For the system analysis of social changes, it is necessary to understand exactly what changes occur in culture and a social system, the development cycle of which is much longer than in the economy or in the industrial sphere. It is important to understand what changes in culture follow the economic and political reforms and what are the links between these processes. There is also an acute problem of the technologization of the modern society, which is considered from the point of view of the value and dangers of technocracy, the dangers of identifying technocratic thinking with rationality, as well as the problems and prospects for the development of technogenic society in modern Russia.
