INTERPRETATION OF THE CONCEPT OF HOMO INFORMATICUS IN A PHILOSOPHICAL CONTEXT

Abstract

The problematization of the “information human” (Homo Informaticus) is highly relevant in the context of the relentless development of informatization and the digitalization of the country’s economy and society. The concept of homo informaticus emerged as a philosophical and anthropological response to the transformation of human ontology under the conditions of exponential growth in digital technologies and global information networks. The term emphasizes the emergence of a new type of personality – a subject whose identity, behavior, and modes of thinking are shaped by continuous involvement in the processes of collecting, processing, redistributing, and generating information. The ethical dimension of this “digitized” existence significantly determines the future of the citizen who is expected to build a radically new society. Therefore, we aim to emphasize the growing impact of the information society on the behavioral and practical aspects of the human citizen.
