Annotation:
The thesis that the emergence of a new post-non-classical type of rationality in the information society has also led to the formation of a new meaning of "rationality" in the modern rational activity of the individual. Its specific feature is that this “rationality” turns into a kind of pragmatic matrix, the epistemological foundation of which, instead of objective true knowledge, is information. This inevitably leads to overcoming the differences between the real and the unreal, the authentic and the unauthentic, between the true and the false in the rational activity of the modern person. The concept of “rationality” for it now includes such meanings as heterogeneity, eclecticism, combining incompatible, pluralism and the right to the equal existence of different paradigms, as well as the ability to overcome binary thinking, where the boundaries of any ontological certainty are erased.
