“…In modern literature, the study of changes in human nature is carried out in connection with the implementation of the so-called NBICS technologies. I. V. Chernikova writes: "Human nature has become the most pressing problem of our time, requiring both scientific and philosophical analysis in connection with the possibilities of science and technology, especially the so-called NBIC technologies, to transform human genetics, his physicality, cognitive abilities, moral values" [18] At the same time, the most noticeable shifts occur in the following parameters: -bio-(corporality, environment, genetically modified products, etc. ); -info-(arrays of information falling on a person, which cannot be fully processed, nor, moreover, comprehended, which gives a person a feeling of uncertainty, incompleteness of existence, uncertainty, fear and is replenished by intensively produced illusions, speculations);…”

The article analyzes the problem of transformation of human nature in a modern digital society. The explication of the concept of “transformation” is given, the types of transformation are discussed, the connections between the concepts of “society” and “human being as a generic being” are revealed. The concepts of “human essence” and “human nature” are analyzed and compared, the uncertainty in the understanding of sociality is revealed, and the conclusion is made that the very concept of the essence of a person is largely amorphous. The complexity and multidimensionality of human nature is demonstrated, the relevance of its research is shown. This reveals the possibilities of the most diverse and, in the limit - inexhaustible - transformations of human nature. At the same time, the authors draw attention to the fact that the measure of possible transformations must be observed, since its violation inevitably turns into the disintegration of both man and society. The article notes that the most accessible and effective is the impact on the biological component of human nature. The connection between the transformation of human nature and modifications of the human worldview is stated. In this regard, the possibilities of transforming societies following the transformation of human nature are discussed. The authors come to the conclusion that as a result of ongoing transformations, a new type of society is emerging, which can be called a singular society, combining almost incompatible characteristics.

“…Sherenkova. And in this sense, the warning of Hans Jonas sounds relevant, reasoning about the human responsibility for his image in the following way: "only the predicted deformation of man helps us to come to the concept of man, which should be protected from it, and we need a threat to the human image, and quite a specific threat, so that, afraid of it, to secure a genuine human image" [16].…”

The article considers the problem of human self-identification in the modern world. The relevance of the study is due to the process of human self-alienation, the loss of the person’s rootedness in his own foundational content stemming from the human nature itself. The specificity of philosophical reflection on human being is shown. The leading approach to the study of this problem is the ascent from the abstract to the concrete, which makes it possible to comprehend human being and the phenomena of time, finitude, and corporeality associated with it as phenomena that identify the truly human principle in us and manifest the ontological meaning itself. The dialectical method and hermeneutic analysis of the texts of contemporary researchers considering the problems of the philosophical bases of the human personality in the modern world are also used in this study. The article analyzes the status of the personality in the modern technogenic world, in which the uncontrolled stream of simulations and imitations, which include the human being becoming alienated, puts on the brink not only a person’s presence in the world, but the world itself as a “native home” of human life. The analysis shows that the possibility of human self-identification in the world is possible only due to the fact that it forms and preserves the human principle in us and is the manifestation of its being. The special role of conscious, sane and responsible action in this process is shown.
