От картин мира к цифровому миру

Abstract

The article deals with the transition from world-pictures (images of the world) in the traditional sense to a new “digital world,” which is currently happening. At the beginning of the article, we define the concept of a “world-picture” ( Weltbild ) in its general form, its difference from “worldview” and present a brief overview of the evolution of world-pictures. The influence of different images of the world on the idea of social order is revealed. Following M. Heidegger, the article discusses the specifics of the modern image of the world, as well as whether every era develops its own world-picture. A comparative analysis of M. Heidegger’s and K. Jaspers’s ideas of the world picture is carried out. We discuss the idea of Jaspers that, along with the image of the world, we should take into account the orientation in the world because the image of the world is only an auxiliary tool, moreover, an incomplete one. H. Arendt’s point of view on this issue builds a bridge to the modern perception of the world through technical means, separating us from direct perception of objective reality. It emphasizes the idea that, in the end, we do not get an image of reality, nature or the universe, but only of ourselves. At the same time, the modern attitude to reality is characterized by the fact that digital technology involves all new aspects of human life, and as a result, sometimes it is no longer possible to distinguish a construct from material reality, we can observe substitution of reality with artificial reality. These processes bring us back to the old philosophical problem of mind, in particular regarding the presence or absence of mind in artificial intelligence.
