ON THE CREATION OF A NEW SCIENCE OF "TECHNOSPHEROLOGY"

Annotation. The recognition of a qualitative leap in the development of technology was the formation of the concept of the "technosphere" in the 20th century. Today, the technosphere has become a global supersystem that is essentially antagonistic, self-regulating, and self-sufficient within the planetary system of living nature — the biosphere. Large-scale ecological consequences of the impact of technology on the biosphere require special attention and comprehensive study of the technosphere. In this context, there arises an urgent necessity for the creation of a new science — "technospherology" — which would study in a generalized way the sphere of human technical activity, the patterns of the technosphere's evolution and its interaction with the environment, its influence on human society, and the prospects for its development. The tasks of forming the theoretical foundations of this new science and its practical applications are discussed, including aspects of technology ecologization, the development of national projects, etc.

Keywords: biosphere, technology, technosphere, ecological crisis, technospherology, technosphere management, rational environmental management.
