- Abstract
This text explores the system of values modernity. Modernity is usually expressed through the metaphor of the Information Age, stressing the dominant position in the society of information and communicative streams. A human in general is a joint being and therefore he initially belongs to communication. Compatibility as measurement of ontology of communication is a place of formation of joint practice of people, united by repeated and regular bodily interactions, in which the message is created, contributing to join people in a community with certain ideas and values. But existence of the modern man is problematized largely because of its absorption in information streams, that are intensified be electronic technologies. People can not do without telecommunications, mobile communications, etc., so that a man is included in the set of replacing each other streams of information, that have not only diverse, but also generally contradictory and conflict contents. Immersion in full of contradictions information field generates such phenomena and problems as “clip thinking” to the detriment of complete semantic thinking; domination game, not the real, actual forms of the relations. Relationships between men and women are changing, getting the forms that threaten the existence of a family. And, at last, in such unsteady information space of simulation and virtuality it becomes in general difficult to speak about authenticity or not authenticity of borders of our existence
