The Transformative Role of Crisis in the Context of Contemporary Anthropological Problems

Abstract

The focus of consideration of human transformation sets up optics to track multi­ple configurations in the formation of its modern forms at the intersection be­tween realities from heterogeneous areas – the logic of the polysemy of the hu­man identity crisis. Identity configurators mediate, for example, between an inter-element macrophysical order greater than the resulting individual and an intra-element microphysical order smaller than that individual (G. Simondon) Or the relationship between the transcendent and the immanent, forming the ex­perience of transdisciplinarity (Ya. Svirsky). This mediation between the ultimate (contradictory, conflicting, contrasting) realities (events, situations) is the begin­ning of the formation (individuation) of a particular individual. Such a vision raises questions. Does the transformation of a person always take place against the background of crisis phenomena similar to the modern crisis of technological civilization, which are manifested in the relationship of a person between his ex­ternal and internal nature? And what, then, do we mean by conceptualizing the term crisis? The article attempts to show the crisis as a converter of the course of evolution of the biosocial nature of man. The conceptualization of the term crisis is formed through the grasping of a variety of ambivalent semantic interpreta­tions, which are guessed in the situational analysis of the case studie, between the judgments about the essence and existence of modern man in his ontological presuppositions.
