Paradoxical Anthropology in Digital Age. Book Review: Human as an Open Integrity: Monograph / Ed. by L. P. Kiyashchenko, T. A. Sidorova. Novosibirsk: Akademizdat, 2022. 420 p.

Relevance. The problem of understanding the essence of man as a complex integral system with stable characteristics and inexhaustible adaptive potential, which helps a person not only to adapt to a changing world, but also to design and create it, has always interested philosophers of several generations. With a significant number of works on this topic, the human phenomenon opens up with new facets.
The purpose of the article is to review the collective monograph "Human as an open integrity".
Objectives: to draw the attention of the philosophical community to the current problems of human philosophy in the digital age; to show the polyphony of the authors' points of view, forming a holistic concept of procreation as a defining characteristic of a person.
Methodology. The article uses a transdisciplinary approach, which is the best suited for studying such a multidimensional object as a person, allows you to expand the usual angles, go beyond the boundaries of well-known disciplinary theoretical constructs. The authors use the method of critical analysis to comprehend the main ideas of the book.
Results. Among the publications of recent years on anthropology, the collection of scientific articles " Human as an open integrity" stands out for its debatable nature, a free lively dialogue of authors reflecting on procreation as an essential characteristic and saving ability of humanity in the current critical period. The concept of procreation in the collection unfolds on two levels, as a creative generation, modeling in a broad interpretation and as a process of procreation in the natural and artificial worlds – in a narrow one.
Conclusions. The authors' arguments are built in various ontological paradigms, but as a result, an idea is created about the paradoxical nature of man, comprehended by contradictory but complementary configurators of the external and internal worlds of man as a complex object, about the processes of risk formation and removal, adaptation and preadaptation of man to a new digital reality, about the need for a cross-paradigm communicative approach in understanding man as an open integrity and many other philosophical and anthropological problems.
