The Anthropological Turn and Its Implementation in Socio-Philosophical Representations

Abstract

The aim of the study is to analyze the anthropological turn in contemporary socio-philosophical thought and to determine its impact on the transformation of concepts of the human being and society in the context of digitalization. The relevance of the topic is обусловлена profound transformations of social reality associated with the development of digital technologies, network structures, and new forms of social interaction that significantly reshape the understanding of human nature and subjectivity.

The methodology of the research is based on a combination of analytical-comparative and structural-analytical approaches, as well as phenomenological and historical-philosophical analysis, which enables a comprehensive examination of transformations in the anthropological dimension.

The results of the study demonstrate that contemporary social transformations are accompanied by changes in the anthropological dimension caused by the development of digital capitalism, platform structures, and algorithmic forms of governance. It is shown that within postmodernism, new materialism, and accelerationism, subjectivity is being reinterpreted and gradually loses its status as a central anthropological attribute. Particular attention is paid to the processes of algorithmization of social practices, the transformation of human experience into data, and the emergence of new forms of dependence on digital infrastructures.

The scientific novelty lies in the systematization of contemporary approaches to the anthropological turn, the identification of the relationship between digital capitalism and the transformation of subjectivity, and the substantiation of the transition from the classical humanistic model of the individual to a posthuman one.

The conclusions indicate that the anthropological turn of the 21st century is accompanied by processes of de-anthropologization, transformation of subjectivity, and the formation of new ontological foundations of socio-philosophical analysis, which require further reconsideration of the place of the human being in the digital world.
