Abstract

During the last 250 years the change of technological modes has been occurring not only in the upgrading of the industrial complex and the integration of innovative technologies, but also through the radical transformations in the environment of human existence. The specifics of the VI technological mode in the comparison with the previous modes is the inner transformation of the human being. The author of this paper discusses the following questions: What are the axiological priorities that should be accepted by scientists and society to avoid catastrophic and irreversible consequences and risks of the scientific and technological development? Could professional socio-humanitarian expertise consider the potential dangers of using the new convergent NBIC-technologies? What role the public and humanitarian-scholars can play in the analysis of scientific achievement and monitoring research?
