摘要：The article considers the problem of developing conceptual principles of philosophical and cultural studies of society that are adequate to its current metastable state, taking into account its transition to the era of a new type of cultural development (information, project management culture, etc.). The global informatization of society, the conditions under which the cultural information environment functions, is in our time the main source of social inequality. The relevance of the study is due to the transition to a new type of cultural development in the form of self-structuring of the personality, directly related to the self-structuring of the noosphere on the way of a wide awareness of the fact of knowledge, streamlining their structure, as well as determining mutual transitions between knowledge and information and obtaining knowledge from information. The specificity of the development of information culture is shown, which contributes to the reduction of uncertainty in the functioning of various social or innovative clusters with the help of management signals. It is also shown that it becomes a condition for society to gain additional degrees of freedom. New approaches used in the work are developed on the basis of a synergistic expansion of the research method. The methodological basis of the study adopted the ideas and methods of modern systemology, philosophical synergetics and structural epistemology. The analysis shows that the mass culture of the mid-twentieth - beginning of the twenty-first centuries. remains a relatively unimaginable phenomenon in terms of general and philosophical cultural studies.
