Abstract

The article forms the elements of a methodological approach in the cognition of the phenomenon of multidimensional co-evolution. The ontological foundations of the multidimensionality of co-evolution are revealed in connection with the continuity and cooperative interconnection of successively emerging types of evolution in the process of the global deployment of material reality, as a result of which more and more complex metasystem structures are formed up to the biological and social levels of their organization. It is noted that metasystemic structures, primarily biological and social, are distinguished by a high level of activity in self-reproduction and self-regulation, including the ability to specifically regulate the relationship between positive and negative manifestations of co-evolution in their self-preservation and stable development. In the context of this approach, the multidimensional nature of man is presented as a kind of product of the multidimensionality of spontaneous global co-evolution, which integrates physical, chemical, biological, social and other parameters of evolving and material reality into a systemic organization called “man”. Man, as the bearer of the multidimensionality of co-evolution, realizes this historically formed potential in a variety of forms and tendencies of activity, including various manifestations of interrelated processes of progress and regression, creation and destruction, ordering and disordering. The examples show the interconnection of these trends and it is noted that if you do not regulate their ratio, then spontaneous multiplication of destructive processes occurs, starting with the behavior of an individual and up to the formation of relations of instability in the development of the entire human community. In this regard, the article is aimed at solving the problem of systematizing knowledge about coevolution and transforming it into certain coevolutionary stratagems or programs for theoretical and practical actions to achieve the goal of the humanistic choice of development by regulating the relationship of its various tendencies.
