Abstract:
The article raises a conceptual problem that has both philosophical and socio-economic content: the nature of the interaction of material and spiritual principles in the context of the increasing role of knowledge and cultural values as factors of modern socio-economic development. The author shows that the process of searching for new knowledge has rapidly begun to play a predominant role in relation to the material foundations of production, since now it determines the very nature of these material foundations. But such a revolution in the relations of the material and the ideal in the production process itself rests on the transition to knowledge-intensive material production technologies and to the creation of a knowledge-intensive product. This change also leads to qualitative changes in property relations and in the nature of a human. Property relations are gradually eroding, which in the future may lead to their exhaustion, and a person, in order to ensure the development of society in the conditions of the modern technological revolution, must break through the narrow shell of an economic person, and become a truly reasonable person, a noohuman, who relies on the cultural imperatives of human development.
