Ecologization of the Technological Paradigm of Subsoil Use: A Local Response to Global Challenges

The internal contradictions that affect the interaction of the techno- and biosphere during the intensification of subsoil development are considered. The necessity of timely ecologization of the technological paradigm of the development of subsoil use as one of the main elements of the technosphere and a natural transition to a new technological order corresponding to the characteristics of a post-industrial society has been substantiated. The causes of the modern systemic ecological crisis associated with the antagonistic form of interaction between man and nature have been indicated. This crisis can be overcome through the gradual ecologization of the technological paradigm in general and subsoil use in particular. The massive use of naturelike technologies contributes to the modernization of the technological order. It is this form of revolutionary transformation that opens the way for establishing coevolutionary interaction of systemic antagonists—man and the living nature of the Earth—based on the principles of parallel nondestructive development.
