Information environment as the intercultural communication space

Abstract

The article is devoted to identify the information society influence on the transformation of intercultural communication in a globalized world. The reception of leading philosophical concepts related to this issue is implemented. In particular the points of view such philosophers as I. Wallerstain, J. Habermas, Y. Masuda, S. Huntington, F. Fukuyama and others are analyzed here. The article provides the idea that the presence of common information environment to different cultures is not able by itself to ensure the integration and cooperation of the world community in all spheres of life society. The efforts of different ethnic community’s representatives are required to upgrade intercultural communication.
