Abstract

In the article, first of all, in the context of the methodological turn from philosophy of consciousness to the philosophy of communication, the influence of the technogenic, informational component of the present stage of the development of society on all its fields is investigated, accompanied by changes in relation to the person with its economic and moral and ethical needs. In this case, the main modern factors, which significantly influence the changes in understanding the problems of human dignity: «information revolution», genetic research, socio-economic and environmental problems are distinguished. It is found out in the article, that the classics of modern communicative philosophy K.O. Apel, J.Gabermas, G.Jonas emphasize the transformation of discursive ethics into the stream of ethics of social and ecological, fruitfulness of further understanding of the problems of freedom and responsibility, human dignity. And this, in turn, promotes the awareness of the society of the need for personal and collective responsibility (ethics of responsibility), which is possible only in conditions of full participation in the specified processes of all citizens, the development of a just, rule-based state. The significant relationship between the issue of justice and the problem of human dignity in the process of distributing material and spiritual resources, the possibility of creating prerequisites for overcoming modern challenges and pressing environmental, economic and moral and ethical problems are proved in the article. The consistent reconstruction of the socio-philosophical component of modern communicative philosophy testifies to the fruitfulness of the methodological principle proposed by it to comprehend the concept of human dignity, human being in general in the present conditions of the development of society.
