Abstract
The search for a constructive strategy to overcome socio-economic and environmental imbalances in technogenic civilization is of great importance in modern science and philosophy. The article aims to discuss the scientific and philosophical potential of the holistic approach as a specific methodology and worldview. To achieve this goal, the authors clarify the understanding of the term "ecology" as an interdisciplinary field encompassing both natural and social aspects, which is the key to the modern analysis of environmental problems and the search for their solutions. The study of the doctrines of "new humanism", "world balance for mankind", and "new enlightenment", which were presented in the reports to the Club of Rome, allows one to find out the ethical and metaphysical foundations of the new paradigm of holism, its prognostic potential.
