PHILOSOPHY OF MODERN SOCIETY IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITALIZATION AND A NEW HOLOGRAPHIC APPROACH TO THE EVOLUTION OF CIVILIZATION

Abstract

A new approach to the digitalization of modern society is proposed, the scientific proposal of applying new holographic approaches that have recently become widespread in cosmology, philosophy of science, information theories and consciousness studies seem relevant. The purpose of the study is to analyze digitalization as a multicomponent phenomenon, the complexity of which requires several new scientific metaphors, for example, the metaphors of emergence and holographic design. Methods: analytical method, synergistic and holographic principle, holistic approach to society, socio-philosophical analysis, theories of information and information society. Scientific novelty. Digital transformation not only changes technical infrastructures, but also radically records the anthropological, sociocultural and ontological foundations of human existence. Based on modern works on the philosophy of digitalization and digital ethics (C. Burr, L. Floridi, A. Grunwald, E.O. Pedersen), the authors compare them with holographic models of the Universe, dark energy and consciousness (D. Bohm, V.J.A.J. Førde, S. Ghaffari, W.B. Miller Jr, A.V. Melkikh, R. Valverde). Based on this, the thesis is substantiated that the digital society can be interpreted as a specific «holographic layer» of civilizational development, where information structures and platforms play the role of local «screens» of deeper quantum-informational configurations of reality. It is shown that civilizational development appears as a multi-level encoding and decoding of information. Conclusions. The concept of a holographic digital civilization is proposed, within which: digitalization is considered as a process of multi-level design of information structures; The holographic principle acts as an ontological metaphor and at the same time a scientific model for describing the emergence of the Universe and social systems; there is a need for a new holistic ethics – the ethics of the digital age, which is understood as a «holographic ethics of responsibility», where local decisions should become projections of global information changes. On this basis, the understanding of freedom, subjectivity and the limits of algorithmic control is clarified, and the prospects for a transdisciplinary dialogue between the philosophy of technology, the philosophy of science, information theory and cognitive science are outlined.
