The problem of reproduction of the socio-natural universe: the concept of social metabolism

The article is devoted to the problem of conceptualizing the socionatural universum in connection with the study of sovereign statehood. The study is based on the current interpretation of the systemic and organic approach (organicism) to the nature of sociohistorical organism as one of the promising scientific and methodological field of interdisciplinary knowledge of the patterns of genesis, functioning and evolution of sociors.
The work shows that the developed form (stage) of the socionatural universum is characterized by societal metabolism, which is based on the universal metabolism of nature, implementing and maintaining its ecological balance, contributing to the relatively stable reproduction of the biophysical and social world of the planet. The societal metabolism includes biophysical, social and economic components, socionatural metabolic processes are divided into two classes: endosomatic and exosomatic. It is shown that within the socionatural universum, society, economy and the environment are permeated and interconnected by metabolic flows.
In conclusion, the structure of the societal metabolic system of the Russian Federation is presented in a generalized form. The analysis of this system allows us to assess the level of security and self-sufficiency in key areas of life that ensure the sovereign existence and development of society and the state.
