ON CORRECT THINKING IN THE TECHNOSPHERE AND THE PLACE OF TECHNOSPHEROLOGY IN THE SYSTEM OF SCIENCES

Annotation. At the current stage of scientific development, research activity is inextricably intertwined with the practice of creating and applying innovative technologies. This represents a new form of organizing scientific knowledge, the so-called "technoscience," which integrates aspects of natural science, technical, and humanitarian knowledge. At the same time, the existing system of scientific research and, above all, the technical sciences, in the context of the global ecological crisis, requires further improvement. This is primarily due to the fact that the modern biosphere of the Earth, the so-called "anthroposphere," as a result of humanity's industrial activity, is subjected to constant technological pressure, which contributes to the irreversible destruction of ecosystems and may ultimately lead to the demise of our civilization. Consequently, there is a growing understanding of the need for a comprehensive study of the evolution of technology and the technosphere and for imparting a certain degree of controllability to these artifacts. In this regard, there arises a need to create a new integral scientific discipline called "technospherology," which, in turn, requires defining its place in the system of existing natural, technical, and humanitarian sciences. The significance of technospherology lies in the fact that it is essentially the most important science of correct thinking in the technosphere, which serves as the basis for constructing the latter in the context of the global ecological crisis and, among other things, puts forward special requirements for improving the system of higher education in the country against the background of the rapidly growing differentiation of scientific knowledge.

Keywords: natural sciences, engineering, and humanities, technoscience, biosphere, technosphere, anthroposphere, technospherology, technetics, technosphere safety, engineering ecology.
