The article delves into the philosophical and anthropological analysis of the concept of man in the philosophy of A.A. Bogdanov. The study focuses on Bogdanov’s understanding of science as a means of anthropotechnics – a constructive tool for shaping and transforming the human subject. Central is A.A. Bogdanov’s theory of tec-tology, viewed as a universal science of organization applicable not only to social structures but to the for-mation of the human as a systemically organized and self-developing being. The article reconstructs the onto-logical and anthropological foundations of A.A. Bogdanov’s thought, particularly his concepts of “living experi-ence”, proletarian culture, and scientific cooperation. These are explored as mechanisms for generating a new type of subjectivity based on collective practice and cognitive integration. The research methodology combines philosophical-anthropological analysis, historical-philosophical reconstruction, and hermeneutic interpretation. A comparative framework assesses A.A. Bogdanov’s anthropological model in relation to the philosophies of Karl Marx and Ernst Mach. While retaining key Marxist principles, Bogdanov shifts the emphasis from socio-economic struggle to cultural and organizational transformation. Unlike Mach, A.A. Bogdanov advocates for a socially embedded, collectively constructed subject rather than an empirically minimal self. The article also explores how A.A. Bogdanov’s ideas intersect with contemporary debates in transhumanism, posthumanism, and techno-anthropology, highlighting both the progressive potential and the risks of viewing the human as a “project” of scientific and cultural intervention. The study concludes that A.A. Bogdanov proposes a project-oriented anthropology that clarifies science’s role in shaping human subjectivity and anticipates current philo-sophical discussions on human transformation under technological rationality.
