- Abstract
Modern society is in unique conditions which are defined as the second modernity. The period after modernity turns the industrial society into the new, more reflexive network information society. It is characterized by the multiplicity of different types of knowledge and by risks for all the life-forms and people which are dependent of knowledge. Modern society is not only a society of knowledge but a society of risks. There is a position in modern publications regarding management of innovations and total digitization which shows the advantages of unprecedented economic benefit, an increase in production efficiency, which reflects aspects of techno-optimism and disadvantages of technological area and risks for ecosystem in terms of techno-pessimism. It is so called a “position either/or”. It is necessary to provide the reflexive modernization which pays attention to the very process of modernization to form strategies of socio-economic development. The authors put forward theories of the reflexive modernization based on philosophy of techno-realism.
