Summary/Abstract: The article presents the views of some human studies, given its complex, biosocial nature; states that the process of human being in the world is characterized by ambiguity, stochasticity and eventuality; being determines the nature of man, his nature as universal and at the same time — the particular substance. The role of biology which takes continuous features not only the natural sciences but also socio-humanitarian knowledge. Emphasized that bivalent of human nature, caused by contradictions between the biological and the social, physical and mental, universal and particular, rational and emotional, sacred and profane — in a new type of civilization is certainly relevant. We give an overview of modern approaches to the treatment of biopolitics, which establishes the necessary common, essential interactive communications between people, including its biosocial nature, and structural elements are constructed of a political design. The tendencies of the modern world, given that the post-industrial society individual who professes utilitarian, consumer values, no longer able to adequately respond to the challenges dictated by the realities of the twenty-first century; concluded that humanity must appeal to the eternal spiritual values, understand themselves an integral part of nature and part of Space, formulate environmental and cosmic consciousness in order to get out of the trap of global conflicts, prevent moral degradation and avoid self-destruction.
