Networked Civilization and the Nature of the Great Anthropological Transition

Relevance. Civilizational transit in the middle of the 21st century is associated with the network interference of several global transitions at once: demographic, informational, environmental, technological, financial and economic, socio-political, cultural, anthropological, which is not comparable in scale with any previous era of changes and requires a fundamental philosophical and methodological analysis of the reasons and prospects for overcoming the protracted phase of social development, which we called the Great Anthropological Transition. Historical analogs can serve in the distant horizon - the era of the beginning of the decline of post-Caesarian Rome, and in the coming times - the Great Depression of the 30s of the last century, which also captured the entire ecumene of its time.
The purpose of the research is to study the nature and prospects of the Great Anthropological Transition, which has entered the global civilization in recent years.
Objectives: conceptualization of the concept of the Great Anthropological Transition, analysis of its historical and information-network bases and risks; identification of scenarios for the passage of the Great Anthropological Transition; identification of the features of the interaction of state hierarchies and social networks in the digital era;
The research methodology includes: interdisciplinary system-synergetic approach, post-non-classical methodology and philosophical reflection, the method of historical echo and umwelt analysis, risk analysis, actornetwork approach of B. Latour.
Results: the analysis of information-network and historical foundations of global civilizational transformations is carried out, a typology of networks of the life worlds of a modern person is given, the prospects and risks of his activity in the corresponding umwelt are considered; three basic scenarios for the passage of the Great Anthropological Transition are considered: apocalyptic, digital totalitarian, digital social network; analyzed the problems of the relationship between state hierarchies and network structures of civil society in totalitarian and liberal societies.
Conclusion. A comprehensive philosophical and methodological analysis of the phenomenon of the Great Anthropological Transition made it possible to significantly reduce the degree of ontological and cognitive uncertainty in understanding modern problems of the passage of the global civilization crisis. Key words: digital age, networked civilization, actor-network model, umwelt, great anthropological transition, social self-organization, roadmaps of civilizational transit.
