Проблема формування ідентичності в інформаційну епоху

Abstract

As Arnold Gehlen points out, man is an informationally redundant being, and it is institutionalized cultural forms that traditionally provide certain formats of identity. In virtual space, general requirements for identity are much more flexible and relative. This provokes an arbitrary construction of identity. But such constructed identities arise not from adaptation problems of reality, but from the arbitrariness of virtual space. Such an identity is only an imitation — as opposed to the real sources of identity, which are relevant in both dimensions because they are undeniably primary
