Abstract

In the XXI century interest in the nanotechnologies directed on the solution of the most various problems in industrial, military, medical and other spheres, defining futurological projects of the development of modern mankind sharply increases. At the same time, occurring ‘nanotechnological revolution’ announces itself not only as radical change of our ideas of the world, opening between quantum mechanics and a macrocosm of the new phenomena, but also demands social, humanitarian and ethical examination of the consequences and risks from the introduction and the use of nanotechnologies, intervention in the thinnest natural nanostructures similar to the neural processes of a brain, penetration of nanoparticles into cellular membranes, lungs, bronchial tubes and their hits in a human body, as the people who work at such productions - and through food, precipitation, air etc. Nanoscience and nanotechnologies, bringing new measurement and understanding of the modern world, cause some kind of social order for the development of special interdisciplinary area of research - the nanoethics directed on the judgment of debatable problems, generated by the latest developments of a nanoscience and nanotechnologies, search and justification of moral ethical principles and nanoresearches, an assessment of the social consequences of practical introduction and the use of nanotechnologies.
