Methodology *In the late 20th century many countries, such as the USA and Japan, set an objectives of forcing the Methodological component of the research is innovative development, meanwhile in scientific based on the tradition of humanitarian expertise, literature the models of scientific and innovative developed mainly in the framework of philosophical activity were actively developing, in terms of which research. This results from the fact that the production was given great importance. Thus, in philosophical approach can be the basis for the triple helix model proposed by H. Etzkowitz and interdisciplinary integration of humanities related to L. Leydesdorff, the industry is considered as an equal the understanding of essence of the modern member of scientific and technological development, breakthrough technologies, the specificity of their the generator of knowledge, moreover, only in this interaction with the individual and social case the creation of knowledge-based economy as transformations, which may be caused by them. opposed to politically organized economy is possible Humanitarian expertise is treated in this regard as a (Leydesdorff, 2012). social technology of anticipatory response to the Innovative focus of scientific and economic policy possible negative implications of social and to a large extent determined the fundamental technological innovations in the context of changes in scientific and technical programs, which irreducible multiplicity of moral perspectives and currently are not limited to purely applied problems, expert examinations. but include the attempts of socio-cultural studies The complexity of humanitarian expertise of and analysis. The modern ambitious lines of modern technology arises from several factors, breakthrough technological research are based on primarily, from the disparity between the conceptual grounds, affecting the nature and future philosophical understanding of technology and of man, social relations, values, ideology. Hence the practices of its implementation. At the same time, situation of need of the philosophical understanding social or psychological examinations are already and humanitarian expertise inside technological or insufficient, as technology not only affect the human industrial projects arises. This is most noticeable environment, but also human’s body, mind, values, with regard to programs that define the current state life world, and these changes require philosophical of scientific, technical and industrial development as reflection. The specifics of the current situation is a revolution. At least three such approaches can be that it is insufficient to discuss these issues in distinguished: the program of NBIC-convergence philosophical debates or in the articles, as the (Roco, Bainbridge, 2003), a project of the fourth situation itself requires practical results, the industrial revolution Industry 4.0.

Therefore, it can be argued that humanitarian expertise is a synthetic form that combines philosophical analysis, * Corresponding Author. scientific data, anticipatory methods, ethical Email Address: [email protected] 1 Aldrich Aegerter, Anna Susanna Benziger / International Journal of Advanced and Applied Sciences, 2(5) 2015, Pages: 1-5 guidelines and practical recommendations. A The purpose of scientific and technological distinctive feature of the proposed approach is that development is also changed, being already we propose to consider conjugated technologies i.e. understood not as the conquest of nature or the ways of interaction between man and society stimulation of demand. The NBIC-convergence with technology, as well as the results of these program declares improving quality of life, physical, interactions, and the changes caused by these intellectual and social potential as the main task of interactions, as the subject of humanitarian science and technology. There are different expertise. interpretations of this idea, from creating favourable ecological environment, transition to a knowledge 2.1. Convergent technologies society, to the reconstruction of individual, or even the creation of a “post-beings” (Bensaude-Vincent, In 2002, M. Roko and V. Bainbridge group’s 2008). As well the difference between European and report outlined the main peculiarities of the American NBIC programs, which have different integration process of the largest modern understanding of strategic objectives of convergent technological developments, known as NBIC- technologies development, shall be taken into convergence. It implies converging, synthesis of account. In the USA, the founders and leaders of nano-, bio-, information and cognitive technologies convergent technologies see their development path that are critical to the scientific, economic, in transformation of individual and strengthening his technological and social development of society. capabilities, the rhetoric in this area is relying upon Formation of technology convergence was the terms “reconstruction of man” and “post human”. conditioned primarily by setting the goals of European view is expressed with the expression complex objects research and reflects fundamental “convergent technologies for the European feature of the present stage of development of knowledge society”. This program is based on the scientific and technical knowledge, reflected in the idea of social constructivism, the joint action of integration of private areas, cross-disciplinary technology and society to improve the quality of collaboration, using of complex, systemic research human life, highlighting that social values have methods. priority over technology. At present stage the growth points of both Despite the differences, all the concepts of technical and scientific knowledge are focused in the converging technologies coincide in understanding field of convergence of nano-, bio-, information and the revolutionary significance of these processes for cognitive technologies. The specificity of objects of the process of scientific and technological scientific knowledge, distribution and translation of development, human and social evolution. One of the basic and applied knowledge in the designated by most noticeable demonstrations of NBIC- NBIC program areas changes. They include, in fact, convergence was the intensification of discussions one research area – cognitive. The program’s relating to the boundaries of permissible impact of creators indicate its role in the structure of technology on the worldview, the body and the convergent studies, arguing that if the person's lifestyle.

Thus, a basic, fundamental level of scientific 2.2.
