The question of being. Reflection of modern man
The subject of consideration are new ideas about being, arising in modern conditions, in which the object of construction is not only the surrounding reality, but also the person himself. Scientific and technological development led to the need for the formation of a new ontology and served as the basis for the dual position of a person manifested in the change of existential criteria in the contradictory status of the «creator» and the object of construction. A person is included in being, therefore the question of the meaning of his existence determines the methods of consideration and revealing of the essential features of being. The methodological principle of the study is the opposition of two positions that assess the development of scientific and technical knowledge as a condition of «forgetfulness of being» and as a way to actualize being.
