Abstract
The paper analyzes the possibility to predict and even retrospectively trace all socio-historical consequences of scientific discoveries, as well as their impact on the deep layers of human existence. On the example of the studies that led to the discovery of antibiotics, the boundaries and capabilities of those who claim to be experts in the field of futurology are demonstrated. The paper elucidates the role of social institutions and practices through which the control is exercised over the processes of using the latest achievements of science and insufficient level of competence in managing the development of technical systems. The author highlights the intuition of philosophers and representatives of the humanitarian intelligentsia regarding such significant effects of modernity as “cultural and ethnic redistribution” and other similar results of the development of the scientific thought. The paper provides for the outlines of axiological uncertainty in which Russian legislators find themselves seeking to rely in their activities on the Russian tradition, which includes pre-revolutionary, revolutionary and post-revolutionary periods. These periods are very different from the axiological point of view. At the same time, value gaps arose, were smoothed and overcome, and the whole system of values is in the process of searching for their own identity. The author has investigated the conceptual possibilities of presentation in the content area of the legal thought of the phenomenon of somatic human rights in the context of their legislative protection. Discussions among lawyers of integrity of the individual and means of its legal protection are analyzed. The paper deals with the correlation of individual and collective goal-setting in the Society of Knowledge and within the framework of the modern system of social relations. The current principles of bioethics as the basis of legal regulation and as implication of the system of humanitarian values and human rights are subject to philosophical and critical reflection.
