Vernadsky’s Concept of the Noosphere in a Global Management Environment: Searching for Ways to Exit Global Crises

The paper deals with the ideas of the Russian scientist Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky. We investigate how the thesis of scientific thinking as a planetary phenomenon led him to formulate the concept of noosphere proposed by him in the form of a transformed biosphere. The present ecological situation encourages the creation of new models of civilisation. One of the most popular is the notion of the noosphere, which is well inscribed in the evolutional vision of contemporary culture. Moreover, it indicates a way out of an ecologic crisis which hits humankind. Vernadsky’s idea of the noosphere  ̶  the sphere of reason became the basis of the concept of the noosphere, which can provide qualitatively new ways of solving problems associated with global threats, such as environmental, resource, energy, and demographic, by orienting the vector of geopolitics to protect the interests of humanity as a whole. A holistic noospheric worldview, based on ideas not only about the rights but also about the duties of man and the unity of humankind, is necessary to create a real strategy for solving the global problems of our time.
