Analysis of philosophical problems of deep space exploration

The article is devoted to the analysis of philosophical problems of deep space exploration, the core of which is the practical and realistic level of space anthropology. Deep space exploration touches upon a huge range of issues, including extensive natural science, humanitarian and technological areas, the problem field of which is associated with man, his nature, activity, social, psychological, cultural and technical manifestations. Using the method of philosophical and factual analysis, a number of issues are raised concerning the direct interaction of the space environment and man. Exploring the natural science sphere of deep space exploration, the author comes to the philosophical problem of anthropocosmic determinism (the term is introduced for the first time), denoting the interaction and interdependence in the development of two complex natural systems: man and space, as well as the artificially created world of technology. Thus, anthropocosmic determinism is revealed in the paradigm of "space – man – technology". Using the dialectical method in understanding anthropocosmic determinism, the author points out the negative and positive vectors of the civilizational development of humanity and the factors influencing the transition from one vector to another. The problematic field of the humanitarian field in the context of deep space exploration is reduced to the ethics of colonization, which, on the one hand, refers to anthropological determinism, and on the other hand, is built into the philosophical problem of technological determinism. Anthropocosmic, anthropological and technological determinism intersect in the problematic field of space ethics and ecology. Thus, the article shows the close relationship and globality of all three of the above-mentioned philosophical problems: anthropocosmic determinism (including anthropological determinism and the idea of anthropocosmism), the ethics of colonization and technological determinism, with the problem of anthropocosmic determinism having a wider scope and being primary and determining in relation to the last two.
