ResumoTo bring globalisation, broadly experienced nowadays, to the light of a phenomenological examination, we ought to assume that what we are facing is neither a historical accomplishment nor a kind of global criminal assault. Globalisation as a phenomenon is objectified by the developing human being. This means that in this essay the characteristics and the laws of the process of globalisation are to be derived from the phenomenon of the socio-technical development. The realisation of functional results on a global level and the growing number of globe-size technologies indicate a new paradigm of cognitive activity, an endeavour of innovative intelligence to reach an even higher level of development. On the other hand, the recent trend of socio-technical development, as well as static and dynamic features of the paradigm of globalism, suggests the danger of the crises we may face soon due to the inherent antagonistic contradictions of human development. The phenomenon of globalisation is evidence of the fact that the global functional range of human action has reached a kind of natural barrier, and the error percentage we have been piling up is likely to reach its critical point too. It seems that without a thorough investigation of such Omega-Point phenomena and without the conclusions we ought to arrive at we can hardly understand what the new thing that is bound to start with it is and whether or not we can have any influence on this process.
