The ambivalence of modern technology at the stage of technogenic civilization

Abstract

The article focuses on defining the essence of modern technology, its ambivalent characteristic and determining its significance in the structure of the technogenic civilisation. The aim is to determine philosophical, methodological and scientific direction of research into the possibilities of practical application of the systems approach in civil aviation to ensure flight safety. It is revealed that the dual importance of technology includes making sense of it, using technology in its essence and finding ways out of the problems created by technology and technological civilisation. The results of this study have shown and confirmed that a systematic approach can be used to improve the quality of aircraft.
