Abstract

The article substantiates the idea for the establishment of philosophical expertise as an actual theoretical and practical form for solving the fateful problems of our time. The direct source of the philosophical expertise is humanitarian expertise, brought to life by the use of modern biotechnology. A working mechanism of dialogue of civil society, the scientific community with the government and business has formed. New spheres of reality have been designated where it was possible and necessary to involve humanitarian, social, examination. All positive achievements in the field of social and humanitarian expertise are enriched and generalized within the framework of philosophical expertise. Philosophical examination should indicate the main thing. Social justice is an integrated category that has social, moral, legal, and political (including geopolitical) significance. Problems of social justice should be seen as the focus of negative trends in capitalistic globalization. The technogenic trend — an increasingly accelerating process of spreading and developing everything related to the technical, technological in its corresponding uncertainty and increasing impact on social life, on the fate of humanity in the form of catastrophes, self-destruction, post-out-human overcoming — even stronger conserves and enhances social injustice. Philosophical expertise can contribute to the solution of global problems, changing the negative vector of the functional relationship of technogenic and social processes to the positive; the return of man, society, and the national state, of the role of subjectivity, in solving the issues of its further existence effectively.
