Abstract

The subject of the study is the process of the influence of scientific and technological progress on the socio-cultural development of society. The purpose of the work is to reveal the role of science and technology in various spheres of culture using concrete examples of social history. The methodological basis of the research is a civilizational approach using socio-philosophical, cultural-historical, comparative and problematic methods. The civilizational approach made it possible to consider science and technology as cultural and civilizational phenomena, to trace the evolution of scientific and technical thought at different stages of human history. Using socio-philosophical and cultural-historical methods, the work reveals the process and determines the degree of influence of science and technology on the economic, social and political spheres of society. The comparative method was used to compare scientific and technological revolutions with social ones. In turn, the problematic research method made it possible to identify the positive and negative consequences of scientific and technological progress, its impact on the socio-cultural state of modern society.The article analyzes the role of science and technology in human life. For scientific evidence, facts and examples from primitive, ancient, modern and recent history are given. Attention is paid to the turning points in the history of Russia.The author divides cultures into three social types according to the nature of the relationship between man and nature, reveals the essence and chronological framework of these types. The work puts forward the thesis about the priority of scientific and technological revolutions over social ones, since the results of the first of them are irreversible. The analysis of the subject of the study gives reason to assert that, along with undeniable achievements, scientific and technological revolutions bring intractable consequences to humanity, which may also turn out to be irreversible. To prevent them, the author of the article makes certain suggestions of socio-cultural content. The results of this study can be used in the field of social planning and environmental activities, as well as in scientific and educational work.
