THE ONTOLOGICAL AND AXIOLOGICAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SPIRITUALITY AND INFORMATION

Abstract

This article examines the ontological and axiological intersections between spirituality and information in the context of the emerging information society. While contemporary discourse often treats information as a technological or economic category, its deeper philosophical implications reveal profound connections with human spirituality, meaning-making, and value systems. Drawing on classical philosophy, information ethics, and digital civilization studies, the article argues that information operates not only as an epistemic resource but also as a constitutive element of human existence. The axiological dimension shows that the way societies create, interpret, and disseminate information directly influences spiritual development, moral orientations, and collective identity. The study concludes that a holistic understanding of digital civilization requires integrating spiritual values into the design and governance of informational environments.
