The collective subject in complex human-dimensional systems: intelligence or the sum of technologies?

Abstract

The relevance of addressing the problem of the collective subject is due to the need to study the laws of complex self-developing human-dimensional systems. In these systems, the subjects of knowledge and activity are organically connected with the means of knowledge and activity and objects. Self-development is realized in these systems through the information and communication technology environment. Self-development is carried out with the help of the reflexive activity of the collective subject. The purpose of the article is to identify the features of the collective subject in complex human-dimensional systems. It is shown that the characteristics of the collective subject are influenced by such trends as the intellectualization of the technosphere and the technologization of human cognition and activity. The functions of a collective subject in the information society are beginning to be performed by information management systems. The collective subject under the conditions of the co-evolution of man and technology evolves in the direction of a hybrid collective subject.
