Abstract
The article is devoted to changing the role of a person in a changing social reality. The social background constructed to date has become a qualitatively defining marker and a bifurcation point for a profound change in the habitual way of life of society. In this regard, it is possible to state the formation of multilevel system-paradigm, socio-cultural shifts both in the social reality itself, the usual way of life, in the established pictures of the world of modern society, and in the minds of people. In this regard, the question arises about man as the main factor and at the same time the subject of ongoing transformations. Using the example of transhumanism as one of the actively developing practice-oriented philosophical trends, the author analyzes the main trends in changing attitudes towards a person, his role and place in social reality.
