The article is devoted to the peculiarities of using the critical thinking and reflection in the conditions of blurring the boundaries between nano-, bio-, information technology and cognitive sciences. The regularities and interrelation of reflection and critical thinking of the individual in the information society are studied. The article attempts to reveal modern views on the nature of thinking, to analyze the concepts of "reflection" and "critical thinking", to explore the interdependent connections and relationships between them. It is noted that due using the latest technologies, it is necessary to re-evaluate the functions and role of reflection and critical thinking in the modern information environment of human development. The discovery of new properties of brain structures (introduction of the concept of "default network") requires understanding of the laws of its work and taking into account when determining the role, functions and capabilities of reflection and critical thinking. Given the results of recent research, it must be acknowledged thinking critically means understanding we have prejudices that unlike to get rid of. Only by realizing our own bias do we have the opportunity to abandon them and embark on the path of finding alternative solutions of our own.

The purpose of the article is to show the role and capabilities of libraries in meeting the constantly growing information needs of users, as well as the compliance of library activities with the new challenges of the modern information society. The methodology consists of the use of general scientific and special methods, namely: analytical and synthetic processing of information, logical and systematic approaches, terminological and historical methods, as well as comparison and interrelation of theory and practice. The scientific novelty of this work lies in the expansion of ideas about the role of libraries and their influence on the development of modern information society. Conclusions. Modern libraries are transforming and developing together with society, taking on the role of information, cultural, educational, social, and community centers. The active dissemination of the experience of transformation of libraries with a specific readership, differentiation of areas is facilitated by the search for new methods and forms of socio-cultural activities of libraries in Ukraine. Among them, there is a realization of the four-dimensional model of public library activity; conceptual model of a flexible library; digital education project «Public libraries as hubs for active citizens» and many others. Libraries create conditions for self-realization of users, their communication, full-fledged leisure, etc. It is in the library that citizens can learn throughout their lives, gaining the knowledge and skills needed, using both the resources of a particular library and open online resources and services. Key words: library; socio-cultural activity; transformation,;informational needs of users; public; civil society.


To identify and characterize the role of transdisciplinary and multidisciplinary dialogue in modern information society. Theoretical basis of the study is presented by works on essence and development of post-classical information society. A separate block is represented by works on knowledge and science, which are changing in modern societies under the influence of informatization and globalization. Theoretical basis of the study is grounded on ideas about transdisciplinarity, transdisciplinary field of research as a field of dialogue between different sciences and paradigms. Scientific novelty. It is hypothesized that transdisciplinary dialogue is one of the basic principles of modern information society formation, in this double principle of dialogization is implemented - both plurization, dialogization of truth in science and philosophy is performed, and another process - science and transdisciplinary research contribute to the development of new information technologies, mediation and democratization of society, where information society acts as a main customer and consumer of transdisciplinary knowledge, adapting it to new needs of media culture and digitalization. The role of transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary dialogue in modern society is shown, as well as the understanding of this dialogue from the point of view of philosophy and the humanities. The need for democratization and harmonization of knowledge is proved, it is shown that with the spreading of interactive dialogue democratic institutions penetrate into information structures, thus providing an opportunity to talk about the plurality of truth and complementarity of different ways of cognition. It is revealed that transdisciplinarity is provided by special procedures of dialogue and scientific research, including reflection and transflection, fractality, «included» view, intersectoral expertise, including environmental parameters. Thanks to dialogue, knowledge is centered around man and civil society, a combination of anthropological, socio-philosophical, physical-mathematical and ecological-biological paradigms. It is stated that the development of transdisciplinary and scientific dialogue leads to overcoming the boundaries between humanitarian and natural approaches to reality, the universalization of science as a way of cognition.

The modern “digitalized” person is predominantly an object of information, to a lesser extent a subject and an agent of information. The digitalization of the individual manifests itself in the expansion of all sorts of rating systems through which the employer controls the employee and social media monitors people’s daily lives. The phenomenon of “digitalized man” brings us back to the idea of dualism: the man of the modern information society is objectively bifurcated into a biopsychic organism, on the one hand, and his “digital replica”, on the other. Niklas Luhmann proved by his way of life the possibility of a paradoxical synthesis between the idea of mechanistic (bureaucratic) functionality and the idea of spontaneous, intuitive insight inherent only in a living person.

The words speech and debate hold a variety of connotations. For some, they refer to the dissemination or exchange of ideas in a general sense, while others will be more familiar with speech and debate as co-curricular activities, commonly referred to using the umbrella term forensics. Not to be confused with the modern understanding of forensic science, the term forensics stems from the Latin forensis, which relates to assembly in public forums. Forensic programs can be found at a broad range of secondary and post-secondary institutions. Students prepare speeches, performances, or arguments for tournaments where they can win individual and team awards. Despite the individual nature of many speech and debate events, teams play a vital role in forensics. In fact, numerous studies have indicated critical thinking is a necessary component to succeed in our fast-paced society. According to Allen, Berkowitz, Hunt, and Louden, education in communication enhances critical thinking by 44%. Forensics involvement is the activity most identified for advancing critical thinking abilities. Both in and out of competition, team membership is widely understood to be a key component of forensic participation. In many ways, speech and debate serve as laboratories for the study of small groups. For scholars of group dynamics and intergroup communication, forensics provides a plethora of avenues for exploration, related to such key group concepts as integration, group identity, team culture, conflict management, leadership, administration, and competition. The competitive nature of forensics plays a vital role in shaping the activity, and contributes to a unique opportunity for the study of groups. While some scholars (such as Burnett, Brand, Meister, Wood, and Rowland-Morin) perceive tension between the competitive and educational objectives of the activity, others remain adamant that much education comes through competition, and as such, the two are harmonious rather than dissonant ideals. Both philosophies acknowledge the important role of competition in forensics. For scholars of group communication, the features of competitive speech and debate teams make them unique and insightful subjects for examination.
