The informative phase of development of the planetary humanity is based on the fundamentally different approach to the theoretical schemes, as the objects which are studied differ in quality of those with whichwe used to work, and more precisely - they are noumenon formations of procedural character.

In this connection they have a number of structural and functional peculiarities. The peculiarity of morphogenical order, for example, here is the fact, that within the historical action, cultivated by the subject, - within the space (society) the “constructional material” of which a new social organism can appear in any moment.

At the same time an already existent social organism can suddenly get a powerful impetus in development.

The objective accelerator of these processes is the presence in the societyof so-called symbolic archetypes, that make morphological basis of the social body: the senses of past development, the thinking forms of the future, the forces of compression, the national idea, the idea of atomism, of saving, of chaos-order, of thinking ether, of self­organisation, creative environment et al.

Other peculiarity is of functional aspect. It consists in the fact, that the past, the present and the future for the social organism, as a functional organ, become apparent at the same time. It means that the future has for a social organism, early forms of occurrence. In such case the dominants of the future state determine the character and the tendency of transformation of the real social structures. By the way, the factor of the early character of the future has an inter­esting enough concrete occurrence in the social world: at synergetic cooperation of the past and the future in the dissipated (diffused) systems, a social organism is of such kind, they are in the present, and the difference between them is only in the degree of distribution and in modality (the degree of probability and necessity). As it now­turns out, the oognitive analysis of the problem of social organism in the conditions of the informative stage of evolution also has its pecu­liarities, because the methods of cognition that were used by a re­searcher, become in this case ideal forms of thinking, which, after their application, a social object, studying them, aims to attain.

The evolution of the social organism now depends on that stan­dard-ideal which is “offered” to it by a researcher. Actually the well- known Constructor appears, whom we denied once, adopting the ma­terialistic paradigm of explaining social life.

Here the tendency of intensifying the processes of goal realiza­tion is reflected. These processes which transcend present or “con­nect with future”. The mechanism of their realization is based on in­terrelation of subjectivized potential social worlds and the society as an objectivized social world, where linking element is the transcen­dence property of a human. Another, but not less important tenden­cy in the field of cognition of social life, as it turns out in the course of investigation, is the transformation of the theoretical to the prac­tical, of the past to the future, of the potential to the actual, of the natural to the artificial.

The before mentioned tendencies in the conditions of the trans­formational-transient state of society require the realization of spe­cific activity from the researchers, of analytical constructing and integral planning in particular, without which present research can not be fully completed. This circumstance immanently results from the logic of self - development of the social world.

In addition, there is also an external factor, which makes us to continue the research. The essence of it consists in the fact, that the modern humanity, as never before, are swiftly taken away from the earth grounds and looking forward to the Space. As evidence of this can be the starting of space flights era with the purpose of the practi­cal mastering of circumterrestrial space, intervention of human to the sources of living after opening genetic code, mastering such force as thermonuclear energy, its penetration to the area of functioning of mind mechanisms in a way of creating machine intellect and more others.

It is clear, that in the conditions of such vigorous reformatory human activity a danger to make a vital error, able to start the mech­anism of planetary union self-destruction grows considerably.

In this connection it has a protective reaction - by the way of the project examination of everything new, including the social sector, to res­cue itself from possible dangers.

Hereby, the scientific planning becomes the major feature of not only engineering, sociological and artistic consciousness, the basic content of the social design, the organization of material environ­ment of a human, but also of the philosophical thought.

Philosophy is forced to develop the specific project-value con­sciousness (S. Krymsky). the essence of it consists in the broadening of the spheres of engineering-designing and computer-programmat­ic rationality, which automatically result in the universalization of the project approach in the social reality mastering. As it is known, foreign researchers were the first, who entered upon this path, the scenarios of the future belong to them. Most known among them are: “praktopiya” (A. Toffler), “The Myth of machine” (L. Memfild), “tech­nological republic” (J. Burstin), “computer democracy” (D. Moor) mystic scenario of “technitian” (A. Maraval), and finally, a univer­sal project of God, Universe and Machine connection (Teilhard de Chardin). The scientists of our country here are obviously behind their foreign colleagues.

To wide extent a project enlightens on the theoretical horizons of the “third world” functioning, i.e. a spiritual and practical environ­ment of a human, which contains technique, culture, and objectiv­ized knowledge. This world has always existed, but today it takes a project shape of life, which has constructed, which claims to take a certain pride of place in human microcosm.

For the first time, as it is known, the gnosiological analysis of constructing acts and theoretical-cognitive means, due to which the phenomenon of project is created, was made in the XVIIIth century by I. Kant. He showed, that between empiric and theoretical activity there is a creative force of productive presentation which expresses the mediation of these kognitive spheres through the acts of con­structing.

On the basis of the aforesaid, he drew a conclusion as to the heuristic role of the structures, drafts, charts which have the value of intuitional factors of the transformation of empiric into ab­stract-theoretical and vice versa.

The appearance on the cutting edge of the materialistic concep­tion of rectilinear evolution of cognitive process and reducing the human activity exclusively to the practice as the higher synthesis of the theoretical and the empiric in the XIXth century, for a long time drove into the background the ideas of I. Kant about radically differ­ent way of understanding the truth. It was quite natural on the stage of industrial phase of human evolution.

Today, however, in connection with the beginning of the infor­mative phase, acute becomes our awareness of the appearance on the foreground of the hypotheses realization acts, of different sorts of thinking stereotypes and theoretical models, of methodological knowledge in general. In connection with the thriving computeriza­tion of our everyday life, now the process of creation of different kinds of social objects models gets priority, but this does not diminish the role of the theoretical knowledge in any way.

The essence of such change, as S. Krymsky thinks, consists in the fact, that the objects of modern science lost naturalness of sol­ids in the human macroenvironment, and are (in imitation of the quantum mechanical objects) the constellation of certain possibili­ties. As you can see, the objects of the social world are ideal stan­dards for the scientific constructing, planning and prognostication. Just the study of such objects is the actualization of varying per­spectives of the potential.

Thus, during the deductive method of mastering the social world, the integration of the theoretical knowledge and practical action is achieved by the intermediate activity, which requires special socio- technical support. It breaks a way through project-designers devel­opments.

Structurally such activity consists of several elements, namely: the complex of initial conditions of its realization; conceptual, i.e. system basis which is its organizational stem; its desining technolo­gy of the social object; its variational field of possible ways of project realization; and finally the criterion base for the quality estimation of the transformation from the theoretical into the practical.
