Abstract

The article discusses the anthropological transformations generated by large-scale digitalization. The main goal of the article is to identify the vectors of the impact of modern technologies on humans. The article analyzes two groups of problems. The first is related to the consideration of the distinctive characteristics of a person of the digital era. The second involves the study of the phenomenon of “convergence of subjectivity” and its main meanings. The methodological strategy is based on the principle of sociocultural determination, which explains the anthropological shift towards the formation of a new type of person. The research also uses the potential an interdisciplinary approach, which allows us to take into account the achievements of the complex of cognitive sciences and social and humanitarian knowledge. The research relies on the theories by contemporary scholars. The author concludes that the digital environment sets the supra-personal scale of control and coercion. Its attribute – technological rationality – is aimed at the use of ready-made information resources. A new type of a person is characterized by the presence of “digital competencies” and is aimed at combining its own intellectual abilities and resources of intellectual systems.
