Abstract
A series of independent calculations by scientists from different countries and different fields of specialization showed that the speed of biosphere and society development has been increasing over 4,5 billion years according to a simple logarithmic law. Extrapolation of the exponential curve into the future allows to conclude that the noted tendency approaches the point of mathematical singularity around the middle of the 21st century, which means that the global anthroposphere will undergo a grandiose phase transition.

Abstract
The article offers to supplement the existing anthropological ontologies based on the theory of complexity, self-organization, and nonlocal quantum phenomena, which paved the way for the last decade’s quantum synergetic revolution of NBICS technologies, quantum information theory, and biophysics, the revolution promising great perspectives for artificial intelligence research and transhumanism. Introduction of state ontologies and temporal ontologies of generalized corporeity allows to carry out a holistic reassembly of the anthroposphere. Such quantum synergetic approach describes physiological, psychomental, and spiritual phenomena in the same way, it demystifies their conflicts and opens perspectives for the creation of harmonic concepts of avatars.

PHILOSOPHY AND CULTURE: THE TEMPORAL CONTEXT. GENDER STUDIES
118-132
Abstract
The article examines the main currents in modern gender and feminist studies ‒ constructivism and biocentrism. The conceptual basis of constructivism was Leibnitz’s metaphysics of organicism defining individual consciousness by the freedom of its self-creation and by a choice of existential possibilities. Radical constructivism involves abolition of any symbolic and biological determinants, with hysteria of desire, which is embodied in corporal practices and in postmodern production of identities. Gender identification is based on consensual forms of cultural and life worlds and the narrative format of gender construction, which post-ontology locates in the analytics of pleasure.
133-140
Abstract
It becomes increasingly noticeable in the modern society how people not fitting the categories of male and female are forced to choose between the two and have to go beyond the framework of the generally accepted model questioning the worldview of the society they exist in. Taking into account how closely connected this view is with the linguistic instruments providing its reproduction, it is difficult and sometimes impossible for them to find the right words, which sometimes stay on the level of newspeak for a long time, to declare their identity depending on the linguo-cultural environment. But even if the language allows to escape the pressure of the framework set, will it always be the choice made in one’s own favor?
