Abstract

The article deals with the problems of the origin of the theory of communication in the philosophy of S. Kierkegaard and reveals a modern understanding of the problem of the philosophy of communication. The first part of the article shows the philosophical foundations of interpersonal communication, analyzes the theory of communication of S. Kierkegaard and the practice of media criticism. The second part of the article is devoted to the explication of the basic concepts of social media research (new media, network society, philosophy of social networks). The third part of the article presents the results of a survey of students regarding their attitude to modern communication practices. The influence of social networks on the everyday communicative behavior of young people is revealed. A survey of 40 Russian students found that while students are aware of the impact of social media on their daily communication patterns, they perceive them as a new natural medium of communication. The main conclusion is that although young people are aware of the impact of social media on their everyday communication patterns, they perceive them as a new natural environment for communication.

“Anonymity in our time undoubtedly has more importance than it is probably realized; it reaches almost epigrammatic meaning. People write anonymously, but do it even by their own signature They even speak anonymously” [7], that was written in the 19th century Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard’s literary review “Two Ages”. But exactly these lines correspond to the modern communicative situation, mainly characterized by the widespread use of social media (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, etc.) and fundamental changes in communication styles and content transfer. The most important goal of the article presented is to trace some of such changes and outline the new ways of communication (various factors, e.g. globalization, digital interconnection, network community, consumer community, philosophical perspectives of Facebook links, etc.).
