Abstract

UDK 159.97:004.738.5

The article focuses upon notably growing fluidity of man within the virtual sphere, the space created by technological science by the end of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty first century. Regarding this, it is of crucial significance today to address the issue by having a hermeneutical discussion concerning origins and starting points of historical, scientific and virtual mind. In doing so, in order to avoid any kind of dogmatising, we should leave open a possibility for some new civilizational points that might possibly be the result of yet uncompleted technical expansion. Contemporary bond between capital and science (evident in its almost sciencefictional requirements) indicates the tendency for expanding the domain of technology, thus discussions about freedom will be bound to develop new horizons, such horizons that might, perhaps, impose a new idea of man and different understanding of freedom. Modern technology (especially information technology), which has created a new, virtual sphere of social interaction, will remain a challenge. It is only a question of time when it will expand its dominion and what it will offer to further fascinate or, more precisely, lure the man.
