Post-industrial civilization in the light of semiotic metaphysics

The foundations of semiotic metaphysics that studies essence, harmony, interaction of matter, ideal and spiritual in humans, society, nature and universe, are analyzed. In this respect the anthropo-socio-semiotic approach to interpretation of post-industrial civilization, globalization and culture in the context of this specialization is presented. The concepts "abstract and concrete civilizations" are considered. Inner and outer factors of post-industrial civilization, its resources, features, peculiarities and potential in the context of the triad "universal - particular - singular" are revealed. The problems and tendencies of post-industrial civilization formation and development from the positions of the leadership of the maxim "man and surrounding nature are the measure of all things" are discussed.
