Abstract

The purpose of the Article to identify global features of human development in the day, the Anthropocene, which is characterized by the total impact of man on nature and the world as a whole, and which, in turn, highlights the issue of cultural and value relations, giving points of intersection of human culture and environment, ecosemiotics) that transform the world. The research methodology is based on the application of a systematic approach, analytical method, synthetic, culturological, and axiological, which will allow a comprehensive consideration of these issues and formulate sound conclusions. The scientific novelty is characterized by the fact that for the first time the issue of globality of human development in the Anthropocene from the standpoint of cultural and value dimension, which is part of the systems of natural and social environment, transformed and created by man. This makes it possible to understand the place and role of culture as a global factor in the formation and transformation of values that determine the main directions of the development of human civilization. Conclusions. The study found that the study of the global nature of human development in the Anthropocene, which, going beyond the purely geological and ecological framework of its understanding, raises several human development issues that need to be addressed through an integrated approach, affecting social, cultural, economic, political and other aspects of human existence. The deepening contradictions and problems that have arisen as a result of various human activities and are determined by the impact of mankind on the environment, require the search for new strategies to resolve these contradictions, reconsider the scientific concepts of anthropocentrism, humanism, values , and worldviews. Culture is of great importance as a civilizational phenomenon formed as a result of human activity and which can serve as a factor in solving the problems of the negative consequences of human activity. World analysts argue that it is inevitable to reconsider and rethink the prospects of
human existence in a globalized world, which, unfortunately, is moving towards instability and conflict, due to the exacerbation of a number of factors, both economic and political, which can lead to existential risks and even disasters. Therefore, not only the issues of prompt response/intervention in resolving such situations but also taking measures at a more fundamental, value level become relevant on the agenda.
Key words: Anthropocene, global development, natural environment, human activity, culture, civilization, values,
social environment.
