Utilitarian theory of evolution scientific thought about soil phenomenon: noosphere approach

 

A theory is the most complicated form of expressing scientific knowledge. It appears only at the highest cognition development level of some unity of phenomena and contains a number of more simple elements.

Utilitarian theory of evolution scientific thought about soil phenomena  underlines natural world unity, unity of living and non live matters, bearer of scientific thought. It leans on numerous scientific facts and envelops all processes with terra-complex elements.

Our theory is agreed with V.I. Vernadskiy's scientific position. This soil scientist picked out objective regularities of multi sides socio-historical process. They were connected with irregular development of scientific knowledge with other forms and spheres of socio-historical and spiritual-cultural life of human activity. The peculiarity of human attitude to the nature in different socio-historical periods played an important role in these processes.

Social changes, production organizational level, culture, scientific thought and reproduction processes (demographic problem in wide context),assimilating of new territories and earth sphere are realized irregular at time and sphere. This irregularity is characterized by wave periods, blasts or periods of long stagnation, slow movement of some group elements. The first forms of development could be marked as revolutions (social, technical, scientific, demographic, cultural etc.), the second – as the periods of evolution (relatively smooth development). It's clear that the first appeared at struggle time of different processes, the second – when contradictions did not get critical point. Accounted development forms in the history of the planet and society are irregular and could not be equal by time. By the way, appearance one form may made quick or slow the movement of another one. It is touched up the social revolutions. Contradictions of productive development and class society organization concerning the revolution of scientific thought and culture in the whole are in their basis. Contradictions in the interactions between society and nature are reflected there. It is actual for today situation in ecological, demographic and energetic crises on the Earth.

Terra-complex is an abstract and idealised object of the theory of evolution scientific thought about soil phenomena. It is some system of interaction notions about biosphere, noosphere and technical sphere – the parts of soil phenomenon and its usage.

We thought that terra-complex is a continuous of complicated processes of  biosphere, noosphere and technosphere. They have some attitude to soils as the parts of the Earth and universe.

Vernadskiy said, that the changeability of morphological texture of live matter was necessary in the evolution process, but it had changed its chemical contains during geological time. The soil scientist thought that this question demanded experimental check. He underlined that the external Earth ability – biosphere – sharply had been changed intentionally and chiefly unintentionally by people.

The evolution of kinds turns to biosphere's evolution. We could observe its bright entrance into geological history of the planet. An intensive increasing of the influence of one alive matter – civilizational humanity – on the biosphere's change is observed last time. It is happened under the influence of human thought and activity. As a result, biosphere gets over new condition – noosphere.

Noosphere was born when people had created the second nature ­- artificial organs of human existence in the world. We could something affirm about natural processes and discover natural laws in it. It is possible only living in artificial world. Scientific discoveries in global ecology are possible only in noosphere. That's why the notion “noosphere” can broaden our outlook, help us to get intellectual experience of that cosmic basic notions in what we live and build our ecological system of knowledge.

Noospere's discoveries are possible not from the position of external observer but from the getting experience as we have got as those who had created the artificial organs of our life. Every changed condition built some noosphere's parts of that where we live and realize our projects.

Thus, biosphere's part – living matter – biological alive phenomena (including people) are replied to soil formation, existence and evolution; technosphere's part –  the elements of material culture, thanks to it terra-complex could exist. Among them are: soil formation's implements, navigator cosmic technician, equipment to the soil analyses.

Terra-complex is a structural element of the theory and has some levels:

V.   History of scientific thought about soil formation and their factors.

VI.History of scientific thought about soil usage, its influence and methods of improving the conditions of cultural plants' growth.

VII.                    History of scientific thought about mean and methods of terra-complex functionality at the second level.
