The individual's mind and nonviolence (ahimsa) as resources of the person in an unsteady world: internet version of development

Бесплатный доступ

In the situation of limited resources and social structures, the search for being-in-the-world stimulates the person to explore inner space of consciousness. Today the Internet acts as a means of exploring the inner space of consciousness via network communication. This is the new mental support of the person. Autopoietic attitude to the body limits the abilities of the consciousness for interaction. The Network gives the individual new information, quasi-material pivot existing outside the body and created with computer technologies. The Network is a terra incognita of the modern person’s consciousness and a tool of its development. Contacting other consciousnesses, the individual’s consciousness gets “an outsider’s viewpoint”, which is extremely necessary for forming contextual-judicious view of a task. It happens with forming “common sense”, the basis of mind, thus bringing back the value of mind. The states of consciousness expressed at the level of “first-person ontology” due to “network consciousness” today easily move to the level of the entire society. If network society, due to individuals’ efforts, will be able to focus on the creative state of the consciousness that excludes violence and destruction, network consciousness will turn these states into a pivot of the modern person.
