The insurmountable energy of the mind – education, science and culture – in the strategy of the civilizational development of mankind

Perhaps, the most mysterious phenomenon in the world is man, and among his qualities it is the mind. Whether created “from the dust of the earth” or brought from distant cosmic depths, formed as a result of the evolution of nature or some other yet to be recognized miracle, man has conquered nature,...

description Perhaps, the most mysterious phenomenon in the world is man, and among his qualities it is the mind. Whether created “from the dust of the earth” or brought from distant cosmic depths, formed as a result of the evolution of nature or some other yet to be recognized miracle, man has conquered nature, created a univer­sally artificial world, a «second nature» – culture, and has now become not only the master of the Planet but is also looking more and more pragmatically into the Cosmos. The first attempts to master it (as well as the entire previous path of conquering nature) suggest that man possesses some incredibly secret power that allows him to rise and dominate the world. This power is the power of the mind – science, education and culture. It united all other human qualities into a single energy complex, concentrated them in the ability to work, thanks to which it mastered nature, and directed man into a civilized path. Philosophers studied both the historical sources of the origin of the mind, as well as the patterns of its development and the prospects for further application in society and the world. The mind finds various, sometimes unexpected ways for its embodiment – not only in science, philosophy, education, but also in folk traditions, in the prophecies of mystics and maxims of sages. At the same time, the loss of reason can take vari­ous forms – from “mind loss” to the loss of human values at work to the madness of war. The departure from “reason” creates civilizational conflicts, which mostly end in war. The current one is the deepest and most threatening. It is exacerbated by the ruscists’ threat to use nuclear weapons. To put an end to ruscism, to eradi­cate violence, to ensure the Ukrainian victory and to establish guaranteed peace and cooperation between nations – this is the «wisdom» of the mind, its inex­haustible energy, which guarantees new prospects for the civilizational progress of mankind.
