Urgency of the research. Creative activity, primarily scientific and technical creativity, is a spiritual and social phenomenon as a result of which a person produces theoretical, technical and technological products that satisfy his needs. Technology and engineering make human life easier. However, global problems also arise in the context of technogenic content. Information technologies have a great socio-cultural impact, ensuring the interests, communication of people, their exchange of information, however, this reduces the level of autonomy, privacy, security, which calls into question the observance of human rights in the digital era. Accordingly, the philosophical understanding of the interaction of man and technology is a relevant problem today.
Target setting. Philosophical understanding of the nature of creativity, the specifics of creative activity occupies an important place in the history of philosophical thought. And consideration of human creative activity in the context of the development of the technosphere of modern society will provide an opportunity to prevent the negative consequences of the development of technology and engineering. The development of the modern technical environment is constantly gaining momentum, which indicates the formation of a new reality in which the technical and technological become a priority and have an integrated character. The technosphere must develop coevolutionarily in relation to nature, man, and society.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. A large number of philosophical works are devoted to the study of creativity and creative activity, among which creativity is considered as a spiritual and social phenomenon - the works of I. Voloshchuk, L. Goncharova, V. Molyako, V. Shynkaruk and other researchers; as a means of cognition and transformation of the world, as innovative activity, creativity is studied in the works of L. Garashchenko, L. Kozak, D. Kochmar, O. Leontiev, B. Novikov, O. Chumak. Creative activity, creative thinking, and the development of human creative abilities are studied by D. Alfimova, E. Butenko, I. Volkova, O. Matyushkin, V. Molyako, V. Romenets, and Ya. Sikora. The study examined the works of domestic and foreign researchers, whose subject of study was technological, socio-cultural transformations of modern society. The features of the development of the “technosphere” are considered by O. Dolska, L. Slipchyshyn, P. Teilhard de Chardin, M. Heidegger, K. Jaspers, E. Toffler.
The research objective. The purpose of the study is to determine the features of creative activity; consider the concept of “technosphere”, study the regularities of the functioning of the technosphere and identify the mechanisms of its influence on human life. Consideration of creative activity in the context of the development of modern technology and engineering will contribute to a deeper understanding of the specifics of creativity.
The statement of basic materials. Most often, creativity is considered as an activity in the process of which qualitatively new material and spiritual values are created. Such signs of creative activity are defined as the development of social values, the use of new methods of activity and means of production. In the process of activity, a person uses existing knowledge and masters new ones. Creativity becomes an act of revealing existing patterns through the reflection of reality and through its transformation. Activity is always purposeful, a person formulates and solves problems, chooses the optimal ways to solve them. Creativity is a form of development of society and culture. An active approach to creativity determines the ability of an individual to create new cultural values, and in the process of activity, the communicative, intellectual, emotional and volitional capabilities of the individual are revealed. Creativity is the highest form of activity, it is a distinctive essence of man. The results of technical creativity are new tools, design products, technological processes that have social value. Accordingly, technology and engineering appear as a phenomenon of the world around us. The technosphere affects spiritual life, a transformation of human value orientations is taking place. The ethics of interaction with technological systems is becoming one of the most pressing problems of the digital age. The development of the technosphere should occur coevolutionarily - harmoniously in relation to all its components. The functional purpose of technology is to improve the conditions of human existence, therefore, when developing technology and technologies, anthropological, psychological, environmental, and ethical factors should be taken into account.
Conclusions. Consideration of the technosphere, definition of the subject of research and methodological approaches to the study of this phenomenon are problematic issues of modern philosophical discourse. The term “technosphere”, most often, is used for the philosophical analysis of the modern technical environment. With the use of computer tools and technologies in all spheres of social life, the modern picture of the world is changing. The development of science, technology and engineering is impossible to imagine without the creative activity of man. Each historical stage of social development is distinguished by the characteristic features of the technical environment. And in the future, we will observe the development of technology and engineering, especially information technology. Information technologies should ensure effective interaction between people, promote the development of science, education, and culture.
