| dc.description.abstract | The paper is dedicated to research on public intellectual in the context of the legitimation crisis and technological revolution. It is maintained that the public activity of the scientist in the digital era has to focus on self-improvement of a human being. Without overcoming the aggressive human nature it would be barely possible to create a just society. One of the key tasks of public intellectual is to convince people of the need of self-improvement, which will enhance their tolerance and empathy. The digital age strengthens the responsibility of human beings and requires from them complex rational skills and abilities, as in all likelihood they will have to face not class enemies, but the products of their activity, i.e. the artificial intelligence and other new technologies. The type of interaction between humans and machines will decide the future of society. Realization of resources of human thinking implies actualization of not only scientific activity but also of other types and forms of rationality. Here is why the public task of the modern scientist is to legitimize them in the public domain. To extend the field of rationality means extending the area of human freedom. This will accordingly imply encouraging self-improvement of human life. The publicity of the scientist in the today’s context means not so leaving the boundaries of academic walls as the formation of a new public dimension within their limits. At issue is the strengthening of the public dimension of education and science as crucial factors in legitimation of the values of the modern nation state. The university plays an especially important role in this process. | en_US |
