| Summary: | Within the framework of the information philosophy, the historical-philosophical
approach and the synergetic paradigm, the phenomenon of “digital reality” is considered;
its definition as a kind and stage of development of information reality is given. The
genesis of this concept and its connection with the thousand-year Pythagorean tradition
in European philosophy and culture based on the logic and dialectic of the number as a
metaphysical entity is traced. The conclusion is made about the key significance of this
philosophical tradition (in connection with Neoplatonism) as a special system of thought
that determined the modern worldview and scientific paradigms, and contributed to the
formation of a social model of a post-industrial interactive society generating a new type
of phenomenal reality in the format of digital information technologies, institutes and
platforms of electronic communications. In addition, the article considers the prerequisites
for the birth of new forms of cognition and creativity, the “unpacking” of the content of
the semantic continuum in the post-non-classical type of rationality, and the synergy of
humanitarian and computer technologies. |
