What is noonomy?
“The “Noo” in the word “noonomy” has a root, “ancient Greek” meaning, meaning “noos”. The Greek word noos is mind, but not just mind itself as an abstract concept. Whether something is reasonable or unreasonable is always based on a certain criterial base, which we have already discussed. When we talk about noonomy, we mean certain special principles based on “noo” for the formation of a way to satisfy people’s needs, normal, non-simulative needs. Just as economics is a way of managing in an economic society, noonomy is a way of managing in a noo-society. At the same time, noo-society is not a noosphere, not an abstract “noospheric society”, it is a society whose material basis for its existence and satisfaction of people’s needs is noonomy. The second part of the term noonomy is “nomos”. Nomos is an ancient concept that also has Greek roots; in philosophy of the first third of the 20th century. it was used to designate the basic principle of organization of any space, the universal law, the absolute law of the existence of all things. Thus, this is law, order, way of life, the principle of economic organization, management, management. Hence: noonomy is a way of satisfying needs in a society where there is, in the words of Metropolitan Hilarion, “the light of reason”; where there is no relation to production and production relations; where there is no relation to property and property relations; where there is no economy and where economy is impossible as a way to meet people's needs. Therefore, the interpretation of noonomy as a “noospheric economy” that is sometimes found in publications does not make sense. The basis of noonomy is a non-economic type of satisfaction of human needs, which will be formed through a new quality of production, where a person will become, in accordance with the brilliant vision of Karl Marx, “beyond material production itself” and where, in connection with this, economic relations between people will be removed.”
