Abstract
The former Director-General of UNESCO Matsuura Kōichirō Declared in 2008 t5hat the content of the revolution which was going on was the following: “We must do the Kopernik revolution. It’s not the knowledge which turns around society but society that turns around the knowledge”. The article discusses one of the pillars mentioned in this statement. Computerization and internet bore the new ontology of educational interaction and made new educational order. The procedure of getting knowledge and prominent component of knowledge as a value are changed, that is the culture of getting knowledge and its application is changed. Digital culture becomes opposite to humanistic pedagogics, specifies new values and meanings of genesis. This is the result of changes in educational environment and becomes the reason for changing the nature of humanism itself. How does it happen? What does it lead to? The authors attempt to answer these questions by means of the “open education” methodology of D. Price. This discussion results in three conclusions. The first value is exchange of knowledge, freedom, openness and trust. These are the values that conform to the digital culture and humanistic pedagogics rendered as two opposites in the process of modern socialization. The second value assumes universal nature of the values that considers digital culture as a humanistic phenomenon and “figure” and “symbol” as an essential part of humanistic. Therefore the third value implies the questions if the individual personality as a form of self-identity is an integrator of digital and humanistic culture or the integration conditions are alien to it?
