Abstract
In the article, the authors analyze the concept of “information value” through the understanding of the terms “value” and “information” as philosophical categories. They examine the influence of social consciousness, adaptive processes, characteristics of information as a final product, context, and certain social and behavioral factors on the assessment, perception, and utilization of information by individuals and society. Some ways of determining the value of information are analyzed, and a socio-philosophical characterization and critique of the concept of quantifying information value (VOI) is given. Factors influencing the ability to respond to information are identified, and the sequence of decision-making according to Gary Klein is considered. The questions that arise when determining the value of information are raised, the importance of resolving them and a deeper understanding of the degree of influence of the human factor on data collection, information synthesis and knowledge development is argued. A concept for determining the value information is presented.
