The article is devoted to the presentation of the author’s views on the biosocial problem and possible ways to solve it. This problem has long been subject to philosophical reflection, but continues to remain highly relevant. The state of global crisis in which modern society resides finds its manifestation in a multitude of destructive processes on a global scale. In fact, the killing by the society of nature brings its own death closer. Acknowledging the existence of this situation, the author states that it is possible for modern civilization to choose such vectors and forms of development that will not only allow it to preserve itself, but also reach a qualitatively new stage of existence. The importance of biological self-organization, which can ensure the high sustainability of the human body, its successful functioning and development, is noted. Recognizing the primacy of nature and the secondary nature of socium, the author draws attention to the presence of fundamental asymmetry in cognitive and transformative human activity. The path of humanity to an acceptable solution to the problem under discussion can be anthropotechnological evolution. Belief in the power of reason and its good creative possibilities will allow people to preserve and develop their civilization.

Keywords: biosocial problem, world civilization, global crisis, human nature, humanity, biological self-organization, social self-organization.
