Annotation:

The lecture is dedicated to the problem of techno-humanities balance and social violence/non-violence.

The concept of techno-humanity balance establishes the correspondence of  development between the cultural behaviour and  thinking regulators and the level of technical progress: the increase  in  power technology  requires  manufacturing of more complicated moral restraints, and the societies which fail timely to  adapt to increased instrumental opportunities undermine their natural and/or geopolitical basis of  their existence.

The latest data about cultural dynamics of social violence will be submitted.

Everyone is welcome – lecturers, students, postgraduates of different professions.
