Abstract

The author believes that the issue of information security in modern information society is being transformed into the issue of preserving personality. The article shows that the issue of preserving personality turns out to be multilayer and polyphonic and the conditions which block the process of forming and translating the system of spiritual and cultural values, basic for personality formation, to the future generations have turned out to be very significant. The author analyzes the main functional channels of the information society which can transmit an active destructive influence on personality. The conclusion is made that a really effective system of preserving personality in the information space requires a new type of world perception which would not destroy either spiritual or physical personality basis. Alongside with the education system it is necessary to develop new channels of translating spiritual and cultural values which can answer the demands of postindustrial society.
