Information Paradigm in the Human Sciences

Abstract

The author deduces theoretically what he defines as main tendencies of development in various spheres (such as total human activity, the system of knowledge and the human sciences) and examines them in the light of histo.ry of the last centuries. He attributes the central role in this development to the so.called information paradigm that helps reveal regularities in functio.ning and the evolution of systems, which include human beings, and it combines these regularities with those in the natural sciences.
