Abstract: The article, based on theoretical discourse, analysed the main approaches to the basic axiological characteristics of the information society. It is established that the main characteristic of a modern information society is the presence of people, who are capable of critical thinking. Axiological, epistemological and ontological aspects reveal the philosophical aspects of the reviewed definition.
