Summary/Abstract: Among the basic, fundamental characteristics of modern society, the concepts of “digitalization” and “informatization” are increasingly considered, and the first notion can be considered more general in relation to the latter. In the article, in the course of discussion, an attempt is made to determine the role of the concept of intelligentsia in the conditions of informatization and digitalization of modern society, as well as a strategy for choosing the basic characteristics for the subject of social action of our days, taking into account these features of the new social reality. In the course of the work, a combination of logical and historical methods was used, which serves as the basis for a systematic approach to the analysis of the problem under study in the context of digital development of society. Theoretical generalizations are based on an interdisciplinary approach. Based on the achievements of the representatives of the Ivanovo school of intellectual studies, in particular the civilizational approach by V. A. Porozov and the analysis of information processes by I. V. Sibiryakov, focusing on new problems in the education system, the author comes to the conclusion that digitalization cannot replace the classical cognitive culture of a person, which is based on critical thinking. The interpenetrating relationship between the individual and society is also relevant for digital reality. In the preservation of social traditions, the role of the intelligentsia, which rethinks modern processes and forms the strategy of modern sociodynamics, should now be manifested with special force and significance. This role can become the basis of the technology of the future digital society, while remaining consistently significant in the field of social practice.
