One of the greatest scientists of the 20th century, the author of the world-famous works on mineralogy and geochemistry.Since the 10-ies of the last century, VIVernadsky increasingly focuses on the Earth's biosphere.After many geological processes are the basis of its formation, the influence of solar heat and atmospheric oxygen.Not only organic minerals (oil, coal, hydrates, etc.) have a biological origin.Inorganic minerals also tend to reflect their exposure to biomass.
Since the 20s, he says, the impact on the natural processes of nature are not specifically and purposeful human activity.Through its work, the working masses quietly and gradually in a series of powerful geologic forces.Thus was born the concept of the noosphere.Vernadsky understood beneath the modern biosphere, which is considered to be a part of humanity.Before people - he said - before their ideas and labor, raised the issue of upgrading the biosphere for the benefit of civilization as a single organism.
how to define VIVernadsky, the noosphere - is the latest geological shell of the planet that is created based on a scientific approach.It is seen as the result of the combined into a single stream of two revolutionary processes in the field of scientific thought in the sphere of social relations.Therefore, the noosphere Vernadsky created as a result of a stable alliance of the factors that are the basis for these processes, in other words - the unity of science and the working masses.
Vernadsky, the noosphere which, as a doctrine, developed in our days, connects it with the action even more effects: the unity of the biosphere and humanity, the union of the human race, human activity has a planetary character, as it is commensurate with the geological processes, targeted development of formscommunication, the desire for peace among the nations, unprecedented progress in science and technology.Together summarizing these factors, spending the inextricable link with the further evolution of the nature of the development of civilization, and introduces VIVernadsky "noosphere" as a concept.
However, the views of the scientist did not coincide with what was then the ideology of the state.For example, the Small Soviet Encyclopedia (1934) told of him as an idealist philosophy of confession.In academic writings it is characterized by ideological "neutrality" of science, he defends religion, mysticism, denying the materialist dialectics.Besides the mind as claimed Vernadsky, the noosphere is the driving force and spirit of the people, or "aura".This remark is not without ground, as it has been observed that in the field of popular unrest occur natural disasters.And just today, these assumptions were experimentally confirmed.
Ideas Vernadsky ahead of life of the author.Only now, in a critical aggravation of problems of a global nature, his words are clear.Democracy, democratic approach to the device of public life, the evolution of culture, science and the revival of national life, a thorough revision of the approach to management - all this is the noosphere.The fate of the Earth and the fate of humanity - is one destiny.
