THE THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE PHENOMENA OF FREEDOM AND DEPENDENCE IN THE DIGITAL AGE
Keywords:
Digital Age, Philosophy of Freedom, Technological Dependence, Algorithmic Determinism, Panopticism, Existentialism, Artificial Intelligence.Abstract
The rapid integration of digital technologies into modern society has fundamentally changed the ontological and epistemological foundations of human existence. This article investigates the dialectical relationship between freedom and dependence in the digital age. By applying the theoretical frameworks of Baruch Spinoza, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Michel Foucault to contemporary digital environments, the study explores how technological advancements both expand human agency and subject individuals to new, unseen forms of algorithmic control and surveillance. The methodological approach depends on a critical philosophical analysis of "digital governmentality" and the paradox of voluntary servitude in the information society.
