Abstract

The fact that human progress is based on knowledge can be viewed as a kind of civilizational constant. Consciousness and self-awareness of the human, any social situation, roles and activities, economic, technological and cultural innovations depend on knowledge and mediated by it. First of all, there should be discussed scientific knowledge as an important element in the structure of cognitive-ideological imperatives of the social subject and strategic resource of society. The actualization of this resource in the second half of the XX century led to the situation when knowledge is viewed as not only the power, but also as power, which can create a new society.
