The article is devoted to the philosophical analysis of the phenomenon of technology and its influence to the content of modern socioculture. Based on the tradition of interpreting the phenomenon of technology as an explication of the content and structure of knowledge, the algorithm of effective activity and interaction, the author argues that the development of technology is not identical to increasing the number of tools and mechanisms, but means, above all, a simple and effective model of communication and social cooperation, which causes scientific and technological progress. It is argued that technology is the cement of modern culture, the channel of interaction between different levels of architecture of modern civilization. The understanding of the actual ontology of the technocratic standard as a space of pure freedom, purity of metaphysics is consistently substantiated, and therefore it is conceptualized that technology is the realization or materialization of possibility. It is proved that the metaphysical category of essence is replaced by the principle of functionality in the space of virtuality in the modern information society. The author argues that the development of virtual reality technologies is not the cause of such processes, but rather a natural consequence of history as the progress of human freedom. The idea of parity of actual and potential in the worldview orientations of the inhabitant of virtual space is substantiated, and it’s creates a distorted focus of perception of everyday life as vague and meaningless. Accordingly, virtual reality changes the predications of its own expediency: from the purpose of sublimation of irrational impulses to the production of rationality of a new emotional-affective variety, the criterion of which is fair to consider the metrics of public attention and publicity. The author argues that given the understanding of culture as a strategy of human survival, the issue of education is especially important not only as the acquisition of certain competencies, but also as a fundamental "experience of the possible."

The discussion started by the journal Theoretical and Practical Issues of Journalism to revise the existing approaches to the theory of journalism, did not arise by chance. According to some philosophers, we are witnessing the dismantling of the capitalist system: the world is irreversibly changing. This fact applies to all spheres of life. Obviously, a new — third (in addition to mental and cultural), virtual reality is being formed (hyperreality). The era of the Digital is coming, the time of artificial entities — simulacra. And it is precisely at this epoch break that the essence of journalism manifested itself. Why was society able to exist? Solely thanks to a certain centripetal force integrating the most diverse centrifugal elements and aspirations into a single rational human system. Not politics, not economics, not culture, but journalism, through the organization of the flow of images, allows all those social institutions to function normally, which we habitually perceive as managers of society. The attitude towards journalism itself reflects this fact: it has not yet developed generally accepted criteria for excellence. And if for the functioning of the journalism of the Gutenberg era, its superficial understanding was sufficient, then today the theorists are confused before the surging reality: media, journalism, media and mediality, communications, IT technologies, virtuality. The author substantiates the idea that the problem of creating the theory of journalism lies not in certain scientific approaches (or specific scientific disciplines), but in the absence of understanding of the phenomenon of journalism that would be congruent (authentic) with modern realities. Today the vast majority of researchers (at least in Russia) is interpreting journalism as a kind of narrow field of practice, without actually taking into account the true scale and importance of the "media phenomenon" in the functioning of the modern information society. To solve this problem it is necessary to create a General (meta-) theory of journalism, which has the character of interdisciplinary generalization.

In this article, we will examine a new understanding of spirituality in the modern information society and the impact of globalization. And also, the socio-philosophical understanding of the nature of spirituality, which is considered as a system of stable ties between man and society, as a way of organizing and existing a value principle in the content of universal human being. Acting as a universal social value and an indispensable element of sociocultural life, spirituality is analyzed in the context of social transformations taking place in the global community. Its religious and secular interpretations, methodology and effectiveness in the cognition of two types of society are studied: consumption and creation in modern globalization.

Article Study

In the article he authors analyze the key aspects of the crisis of western culture which are revealed in the formation of “civilization of consumption” and create limitation of freedom which has a variant of value orientations choice. At the same time the contradiction between traditional and global value dominants appears and here due to freedom of choice ethical guidelines become situational ones, satisfying utilitarian aims. There appears a condition of instability, leading to “social loneliness”. The only way out for a man is an “imaginable world of a dream”, a virtual reality based on information technologies where a man feels genuine freedom. The authors of the article study transformation of freedom, starting from the antiquity where there appeared the problem of freedom in the slave-holding polices through existentialism and freedom of choice, synergetics of the XXth century where freedom was blend with life of the society, to genuine freedom of virtual reality.

Processing Mechanisms

The role of top-down processing on the horizontal-vertical line length illusion was examined by means of an ambiguous room with dual visual verticals. In one of the test conditions, the subjects were cued to one of the two verticals and were instructed to cognitively reassign the apparent vertical to the cued orientation. When they have mentally adjusted their perception, two lines in a plus sign configuration appeared and the subjects had to evaluate which line was longer. The results showed that the line length appeared longer when it was aligned with the direction of the vertical currently perceived by the subject. This study provides a demonstration that top-down processing influences lower level visual processing mechanisms. In another test condition, the subjects had all perceptual cues available and the influence was even stronger.
