Abstract

The article considers transformations in semantic regulations in the digital age and provides a philosophical analysis of self-regulation patters from three different perspectives. Firstly, the authors analyze the mundane pattern of self-regulation, secondly, characteristics of the existential pattern of semantic regulation are revealed, and finally, the article describes specificity of reflexive self-regulation in the context of contemporary social transformations. The research is based on such innovative methodological tools as the concepts of attractiveness, fractality, emergence and enactivism, the system of values and ambitions. Special emphasis is placed on the concept of complexity, which defines the spirit of the 21st century. The authors also use the methods of theoretic structuring and subject-oriented approach, which links semantic regulations with the subject. The research relies on theories by such Russian scholars as M. Bakhtin, V. Nalimova, S.L. Rubinstein, O. Chistyakova as well as fundamental ideas by S. Kierkegaard, P. Ricoeur, E. Husserl and others. The insight into the patterns of semantic regulation helps reveal its peculiarities and programming effect. Behavior patterns within a mundane model, which often lacks reflection, are usually practice-oriented and are based on the mechanisms of role-aware conformity. They are “self-explanatory” in a mundane way and define a new way of adapting to the digital world by means of self-development based on media-content consumption. The Internet creates an illusion of surmounting the limitations of the meaningfulness of day-to-day practices. Existential model of semantic regulation is an open-ended project of one’s life choices and one’s self-fulfillment. In the context of the digital world existential model correlates with the value system of the information world and is vulnerable to manipulative influence. Reflexive model aims at comprehending genuine meaning of events and a person’s self-embodied existence; within a reflexive model, digital opportunities are viewed as one of the mediators between a person and the modern world. The energy of semantic regulations should be channeled towards “strategic reasoning” and humanitarian values.
