Popis: From the point of view of the phenomenological sociology of knowledge, is really interesting to analyse relationship between collective imagery and the increasing growth of the technical universe: social existence in the Western world–in our time–is in fact embedded in the “myth of information” (Pecchinenda, 2009). This concept derives its cognitive and normative power from its peculiar genesis: the symbolic roots of this process lie in the moral mission of the early modern science, inspired– consciously or unconsciously–by the ethos of Judeo-Christian paradigm. The “myth of information” incorporates these ancient heritage in the flow of contemporary cosmology using the rhetoric of “transparency” (Breton, 1996): this peculiar rhetoric seems to announce daily the final unmasking of the mechanisms that rule the world.
