Abstract

The article contains reflections on modern models of human, created by capitalist socioeconomic formation. First of all, they refer to those models whose implementation affects the imbalance of social systems. These are different version of homo oeconomicus and homo digitalis, which is the latest version of homo virtualis. Their propagation poses a serious threat to the maintenance of balance in the social environment, and, consequently, to humankind. However, recently, the model of ecological man appeared, and his new version, a sustainable man, is only in statu nascendi.  He differs radically from homo oeconomicus and homo digitalis. Therefore, one believes that he will stop the pace of disequilibrium in the social environment. However, his success is doubtful.

Keywords:
