Yakovlev V.A. Information paradigm of value modalities of science

Abstract: The subject of this research is the analysis of the value modalities within the information-communicative paradigm of science. It is underlined that genesis (ontology) of science in the area of culture is not only an example and model of the information-communicative innovative processes in all spheres of human activity, but also possesses the essential  ethical characteristics.  The author claims that the newest discoveries in physics, cosmology, and especially biology, not only significantly affect the information resources and worldview attitudes, but also touch upon the in-depth, existential characteristics of the scholars, as well as the entire population of the Earth. The scientific novelty consists in the following statement: the relevance of the value problematics of science is tightly connected with the solution of the question about the methodology of research of the values from the perspective of their information-communicative importance. The author determines the main value modalities of science on the three principal levels of the system of scientific activity within the conceptual contexts of sociocultural historical process. It is stated that the universal human values of solidarity, information awareness, communication skills, integrity, tolerance, and humanism are more carefully expressed through the ethical norms and ideals of scientific community.
