THE VALUE AND SECURITY ROLE OF KNOWLEDGE IN THE SOCIOCULTURAL SPACE OF MODERNITY

Summary/Abstract: The basic features of the theoretical concept of "knowledge" are analyzed. The essence of knowledge in the sociocultural dimension is studied. The correlation and differences of the concepts of "knowledge" and "information" is shown. The importance of fundamental and applied science in strengthening the intellectual foundation of human development is revealed. The value potential of knowledge at the present stage of sociocultural development is analyzed. The need to strengthen the social role of knowledge as an important factor in ensuring the functioning of the system of spiritual and information security of the state is proven. The methodology of this study involves the integrated use of general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, abstraction), as well as the use of the heuristic potential of systemic, comparative, and structural-functional methods. The conclusions state that knowledge as a sociocultural phenomenon is in constant dynamics and determines essential changes in social systems and subsystems. It is emphasized that in conditions of growing global instability, knowledge serves as an intellectual barrier that protects the spiritual and valuable space of the country from negative influences.
