Planetary awareness: the worldwide demand of the xxi century

Abstract

The phenomenon of consciousness, being the subject of study of many modern sciences, such as biology, sociology, informatics, cognitive science, cybernetics, linguistics, psychology, quantum physics, is not to be reduced to a common understanding in interdisciplinary dialogue. In philosophy, consciousness is one of the main categories which is basic for various ontological, epistemological, axiological, ethical and even social positions. There are three methodological points of view: either based on the predominance of consciousness over substance, or on the minority of consciousness towards substance, or on the dualism of consciousness and substance.
