Social reality as the ontological basis of the correlation between ethics, morality, and law: from anthropocentric objectification to cybernetic intersubjectivity

The research aims to develop an extended ontological model of social reality that explains the genesis, transformation, and interaction of ethics, morality, and law, while accounting for the challenges of digitalization and incorporating mechanisms of the reverse influence of law on morality. The article provides a conceptual analysis of the ontological foundations of normative systems. The scientific novelty lies in the introduction of a conceptual framework involving “hybrid subjectivity”, “digital intersubjectivity”, and “normative circulation”, which allows for overcoming the limitations of both anthropocentric and technocratic approaches to understanding normative systems. The study substantiates the thesis that the source of normativity in the 21st century is not an isolated human subject, but a subject interacting with digital space. Furthermore, the mechanism for selecting norms is an intersubjectivity transformed by digital technologies, requiring new ethical and legal guarantees of its authenticity. Law is conceptualized not as a passive product of moral evolution, but as an active pedagogical factor shaping the moral intuitions of future generations. The research results outline a new conception of the relationship between ethics, morality, and law – the paradigm of “anthropo-technological synthesis”. Within this paradigm, social reality is unified yet heterogeneous; it represents a complex system comprising human subjectivity, intersubjective structures, and technological (digital) artifacts possessing their own agency and the capacity to modify social ties. This conception implies that the “human” must be reconsidered within a new, more complex context.
