Vernadsky'S Noosphere and Slavophile Sobornost'

AI in the noosphere: an alignment of scientific and wisdom traditions

“…The international lockdowns are a reminder of the intimate interconnectedness of planet earth, as noted by Vernadsky and de Chardin, in their concept of noosphere (Bischof 2007;de Chardin 1959), or mind sheath emerging from the biosphere. Today, this includes enveloping technological communication and information systems, such as the internet, Skype, smartphones and Global Consciousness Project (Nelson 2011), which registers significant statistical effects in relation to notable global events, such as the death of Nelson Mandela, and international peace days.…”

This collective and personal lived experience leads the human being to humbly accept in his heart that the geospheric reality of "being" exposes us into a transcendence that surpasses us, the sensing of the Oneness as a radical alterity that transforms us.…”

“…Considering the most materialistic understanding of the Noosphere by V.I. Vernadsky was influenced by the Slavophiles' spiritual concept of sobornost (Bischof, 2007) and the diverse complementarity of contributions by different scholars, the Noosphere may be revisited as a coevolutionary Human-Geosphere concept, considering not only the human physical objects and processes in their interaction with the Geosphere (hereby technocratic artifacts) that transform biogeochemical cycles and geodynamic process affecting human activities, but also the identity values that underpin these technocratic artifacts. Values in the relationship with the Geosphere are transmitted by identities that transform in ideologies and transfigure into technocratic artifacts (Bellaubi, 2021b).…”
