This monograph presents a comprehensive system of relationships connecting society with the surrounding natural world. Building on the concept of a socio(techno)-bio-geo-system, it analyzes both historical and contemporary philosophical ideas from Russian and international thinkers. The book critically examines two widespread myths: the supposed "universality of technique" and its demonization. Central to the discussion is the concept of the Great Triad—science, technology, and engineering—which together shape how society influences and interacts with nature. The proposed framework enables the modeling of specific systems to address social, ecological, and economic challenges. Designed for readers interested in the social philosophy of technology, environmental issues, Russia’s developmental prospects, and sustainable human progress, this work offers valuable insights into the interconnectedness of science, technology, and society. Keywords: sustainable development, philosophy of science, philosophy of technology, philosophy of engineering, soil science philosophy, society-geosphere interaction system, socio(techno)-bio-geo-system, STBGS, science and technology, social ecology.
