The problem of a human - information approach

The search for the answer to the question «What is man?» goes through the whole history of philosophy. It is impossible to describe the true essence of a man with the help of one or another philosophical-anthropological model. Recognition of the dominating role of information in nature and social phenomena became the reason for appearing the new fundamental method of scientific knowledge - the information approach. According to this approach while studying any object, process or phenomenon in nature and society first of all one reveals and analyses the most characteristic for them informational aspects that essentially determine their state and development. Man in this approach is the information creature, it is a centre of three types of information: cosmological, biological and social information.
