Abstract

The article is devoted to the scientific analysis of the concept of "knowledge societies" in context for the possibility of its real use. Special attention is given to the opposition of positions on this theory, which is non-typical for research in this area. Based on the works of local and foreign academics, the author describes a society of knowledge model as a speculative ideal, which either conflict with modern informational capitalism, dissolved therein, without qualitative impact on the very social system. The analysis of concepts also revealed several fundamental reasons, which prevent the formation of knowledge society in our time.
