Philosophical Examination of Environmental and Anthropological Risks of Transformation of the Socio-Technical Environment (Based on the Materials of Expert Surveys)

Relevance. Scientific knowledge and technological expertise continues to evolve rapidly. Technological innovations lead to the emergence of not only new benefits, but also threats, which necessitates their regulation in order to maximize the benefits and at the same time control their possible negative consequences. The technical revolution does not affect any local sectors of social production, but directly creates a new socio-technical reality that carries numerous environmental and anthropological risks.
The purpose is to conducting a philosophical examination of the environmental and anthropological risks of transforming the socio-technical environment.
Objectives: determine the main approaches to disclosing the essence of the concept of "technical environment" from the point of view of competent experts; to assess the state and development of the technical environment and technological infrastructure of the regions of the Central Federal District (CFD) (on the example of the Tambov region, Belgorod region, Moscow and Kursk region); to identify the main factors that cause the danger of the development of the socio-technical environment for the population and the environment.
Methodology. To determine the expert system of social and environmental indicators that allow diagnosing the existing risks associated with the expansion of the technical environment and the development of technosphere objects, an expert survey was conducted using the semi-formalized interview method followed by a critical analysis.
Results. The presented manuscript presents the results of a philosophical examination of the environmental and anthropological risks of transforming the socio-technical environment (based on the materials of expert surveys). In the course of this study, the collection, generalization and critical analysis of expert opinion on the state and development of the technical environment and technological infrastructure of the regions of the Central Federal District was carried out.
Conclusions. Conducting a philosophical examination allows diagnosing the main dangers of expanding the boundaries of the technical environment for humans and nature. With further expert research, the results and the resulting knowledge and recommendations should be specific, focused on solving applied problems, in particular, aimed at attempts to mitigate further risks of transformation of the socio-technical environment.
