Summary/Abstract: In this paper the author develops some aspects multi knowledgeable understanding of the sense of an individual in the Information Age using both critical philosophical and pedagogical approach. Without a doubt, this is a very broad and far-reaching issue, which opens far-reaching issues, in what way today, in a time of expansive information technology, general and individual interests affect the education and information of individuals? In this context, the writer begins with one slogan of the famous Danish thinker Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855), the founder of existentialism, whose last wish was that the inscription: "He was an individual!" stands written on his tombstone. And so it was. In a word, individualism manifests itself as a state of mind. As such, this line has formed the man as a whole, indivisible personality. In this sense, the modern information technology era raised the man to be the human being with a broad interests, on whose spiritual and educational development various disciplines and their doctrines have the influence upon, which in their domains develop a special system of values, scientific and political beliefs and principles and attitudes of the times in which we live. Clearly, according to the global perception of the individual's action, the man has grown into a complex phenomenon through the revaluation of the various factors of civilization. In this context, the information image of the world, which cannot be missed by the world of religions, especially Islam and Protestantism, which deal with the relationship between man and God, without intervention, as opposed to other religious beliefs. Hence the fore individuality in such a worldview of the man. Then, there is also manifestation of maximum freedom of action, which is accompanied by moral responsibility for the selection of goals and resources in order to achieve these goals using modern, democratic, anti-Machiavellian way. Therefore, individualism is seen here as the supreme value of the educational process, and the manifestation of moral standards in the political and economic achievements of the business of social action. The differences that occur from one another, imply hermeneutical sense of individualization itself of both pedagogical and information technology knowledge, of which, today, are primarily dependent numerous professional standardizations and controls of the spiritual development of the human personality and the formation of a comprehensive critical view of the world.
