Evolution of the mind: meeting with abstract level of reality in modern culture - John Searle, Gregory Bateson, Chogyam Trungpa

In modern information-net society exchange of knowledge and development of personality is a synergetic process. In the same way a new cultural paradigm is established and new epistemology is formed. Epistemology is knowledge structure, which determines and adjusts how modern man perceives the world. Information field generates epistemologically open personality in large numbers. Thus, nowadays development of mind takes place not in universities or research laboratories but in the flow of social life, where indeterminacy puts pressure on personality and does not allow him to get stiff in any particular social role or function. In this global cultural situation of looking for an answer to the question “Who am I?” modern man rather turns to their body as a field of individual awareness of the phenomena of life and death than to texts. Conscious attitude to bodily states and processes helps man meet abstract level of reality out of text. It is one of the newest trends in development of modern culture and thinking.
