From Anthropocene& Anthroposphere to Noosphere - What Clinical Sociologists Can Do?

Drawing an analogy with the famous article by V. Vernadsky “A Few Words about the Noosphere”, written in 1944, from the 90s of the twentieth century to the present day we are experiencing another historical and geological shift in human civilization of Anthropocene & Anthroposphere, characterized by international conflicts, ecological no return points and the reality of simulacra (according to J. Baudrillard).

The UN concept of sustainable development, designed to solve the problems of hunger, clean water and soil, lack of education and inequality of humanity by 2030 by building Ecumenopolis (Doxiadis C.A., 1968) is already demonstrating its failure.

Focusing on the key role of society as a driving force capable of building a paradigm of “manageable evolution” or Noosphere, primarily in the consciousness of people, gives clinical sociologists the opportunity to apply their approaches, in particular, in overcoming the ancestor syndrome (A. Schutzenberger) and to abandon the Neolithic system of nature management and the current system of social world order.
