TECHNOLOGIES AND TECHNOLOGICAL CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE EVOLUTION OF POST-INDUSTRIALISM: FROM INFORMATION SOCIETY TO KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY AND DIGITAL SOCIETY

Aim. From the standpoint of social philosophy, to investigate the socio-cultural features of the processes of technology development and the formation of technological consciousness in the conditions of post-industrialism. To achieve it, the specificity of the development of modern technologies and the dynamics of post-industrial society are analyzed, and the phenomenon of technological consciousness as a social reflection of technological changes is considered. Methodology. The research is conducted on the basis of mutual complementarity of activity, socio-cultural and formational approaches. The first was used in the explication of the activity foundations of modern technologies; the second showed the complexity and diachrony of the social and cultural development of modern technologies, the third helped to clarify the model of the development of post-industrial society. Results. The analysis showed that the development of technology in the modern world is reflected at the individual and social levels within the framework of technological consciousness. “Technological consciousness” refers to a specific sphere of public consciousness, formed as a result of reflection by social subjects: firstly, over the ecological problems of the relationship between man, society, and nature-related to engineering and technology, and secondly, over the challenges and risks to social development emanating from technologies, finally, over the threats and dangers that technologies bring to the biological, social and spiritual nature of man. Research implications. The idea is substantiated that the post-industrial phase of social development has consistently developed in the form of subsequent forms: information society, knowledge society, and digital society.
