Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to highlight the crisis phenomena that are an integral part of the socio-cultural space and, together with elements of progress towards well-being, form civilizational progress. The crisis of culture has several manifestations, determining its existential and axiological dimensions. The purpose of scientific exploration is to characterize the crisis phenomena in modern culture in the information and digital section. The methodology that most fully reveals the content of the cultural crisis is scientific-philosophical dialectical and synergetic in nature. Consequently, man and society use informatization and digitalization of socio-cultural space as principles, revealing the problematic aspects of cultural development. The formation of innovative sociocultural development strategies, the main task of which is to promptly identify the crisis aspects of culture, should be considered as a novelty. It is the dynamism that is the main practically oriented criterion in the modern scientific and philosophical analysis of the cultural crisis. Conclusion. Thus, the information and digital society has developed the actual value constants of its development, which allow promptly recognizing the cultural processes that are potentially or presently in crisis.
