METHODOLOGY OF FORMALIZATION OF PHENOMENA UNDER ANALYSIS AS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM OF INFORMATION-ORIENTED SOCIETY

We have analyzed the history of advent of the methodology of formalized description of reality and its impact on society.

We have arrived at a conclusion that there is a certain danger of applying principles of formaliza- tion in modern information-oriented society, related to increasing application of multi-stage formalization in interaction of the users of computer information systems with the outside world.
