“Death of the Subject” in the Educational System of the Internet
The problem of the “death of a subject” in the postmodernist understanding is an actual and completely unresolved today. The global revolution in science and technology of recent years suggests a new interpretation of the subject role in
these processes. Investigating the subject in this article I would like to draw attention to the role of the cognizing subject in information and communication system of the Internet. It also seems to me interesting to analyze the infl uence of the virtual information on the educational system. The role of the author signifi cantly reduced in the global information space.
The specific of interaction of subject-object mechanisms changed. The boundary between subject and object is wiped. Man loses ability to goal-setting own activities. New technologies not only changed the life of a man, simplifying many
tasks for him, speeding up the search for information, but also involving him in a global abyss of misinformation, where he loses the ability to determine where his own opinion is, and where someone else’s. A repeatedly changed hypertext
does not have an author, and it becomes an independent substance. In the opinion of foreign and domestic thinkers the role of the subject changed with the emergence of new technologies in a postindustrial society. Some of them argue that
the subject died in that form, which classics of philosophy presented, while others represent it in the transformed form.
In this article I want to show that the subject does not carry a cognitive function in which he would receive reliable and exact knowledge. In the space of the hypertext, he loses its identity, does not understand where his own opinion is,
and where imposed by the text.
