The “Third Way” to Electronic Culture

Abstract

The article notes the role of electronic culture as the subject of philosophical research. The fundamental contradiction between the actual human reality, meanings and values of the culture, and physical subatomic reality of electronic technology is of interest. The phenomenon of electronic culture is revealed in a number of contexts, sustainable use of the phrase. The prospects of its development in Russia are drawn for each direction, despite the importance of a new phenomenon in the world culture, stating the facts of scientific, organizational and educational problems in the development of domestic e-culture. There are several ways to solve these problems. The first is the path of innovative development through the cultivation of advanced foreign technology, it is hardly possible. Here we appeal to Chaadaev concept of “Russian immunity”. The second way is the preservation of traditional values, it is impossible because the “tradition” is archaic. There is a suggestion that, perhaps, a certain “third” path is preferable for Russia. However, a third way, which is spoken by many media, is incomprehensible and unimaginable.
