UNCERTAINTY - A NEW CHALLENGE OF SOCIAL REALITY IN THE TERMS OF PHILOSOPHICAL DISCOURSE

Abstract

The article substantiates the thesis that the category of uncertainty, determining transformations in the system "nature-man-society-culture", becomes the core of the modern picture of the world. Arguments are given to substantiate the existential dimension of the phenomenon of uncertainty. Ethical, value-temporal characteristics of uncertainty are revealed. It is proved that uncertainty is a heterogeneous formation with the following levels: a) ontological; b) epistemological; c) anthropological; d) existential; d) psychological; e) ethical - aesthetic; g) communicative; h) social. The objective need for transformation of understanding and attitude to uncertainty as a new challenge to human existence is substantiated.
