The growing processes of globalization significantly change not only the field of social interactions, but also the social subject. Integrative tendencies in society actualize problems concerning quality of life which, in many respects, are provoked by a technical component in development of society. In particular, the environmental consequences of accelerated technical production, the emerging dependence of mankind on technical devices in the home and in information exchange, are of particular importance. At the same time, the peculiarities of communication processes begin to dominate in the laws of society. As a result, today the social subject can be described as a communication one. In turn, this characteristic inevitably removes the technical component of human existence. Accordingly, the theory has acquired special relevance technicism as a self-contained objectified the phenomenon of this component.

Traditionally, technicism is seen as a result of the civilizational development of mankind, indicating the negative consequences of scientific and technological progress. However, in such a case, it is necessary to recognize a certain inconsistency of the human attitude towards the world, in particular, an unreasonable transformation of the environment. But the real history proves the opposite: the destructive moment is removed by creation of the technogenic world which becomes the place of development of culture. Consequently, it is necessary to determine the actual roots of technicism. The logic of historical development clearly shows the objective existence of the possibility of technical development of the world. This article attempts to prove a priori technicism to human consciousness. In the sphere of ideal any laws manifest themselves in the marked forms of culture. Any interpretation of technicism suggests its essential relationship with the rationality of man. In this study, the search for proof of a priori technicism is concentrated in the analysis of the concepts of Genesis of science. As an example, two concepts of the origin of science are selected. In each approach irrefutable proofs of existence of technical potentials in consciousness of the person are found.

Keywords: science, technicism, consciousness, social subject, theory, cognition, society
