Abstract

The relevance of the topic of the study is dictated by the inadmissibility of the destruction of the natural bases of human existence. The article examines the impact of technogenic processes on the existence of civilization. The work shows that in the technological world, a person, as a rational being, is looking for a fulcrum and the meaning of his life. It is difficult for him to define a new existence and to overcome the huge contradictions: spiritual, ecological crisis. By creating bulky machines, he violated the natural habitat and became a hostage of his own achievements. Transformation of everyday life, taking place under the influence of technogenic pro-cesses, requires the search for new approaches to mutual understanding of people, the implementation of the latest worldview meanings and attitudes. In a contradictory world, a person can survive only by subjugating the technique to a humane soul capable of preserving holistic human feelings and preventing the power of the machine over a person.
