DIGITAL HUMANISM AS A NEW PARADIGM FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN HUMANITIES
The relevance of the topic is that in the modern world, digital technologies are increasingly integrated into all spheres of human activity, including the humanities. This leads to the formation of a new research paradigm – digital humanism, which combines humanitarian values with technological capabilities. The purpose of the study is to explore the concept of digital humanism, its impact on the humanities, and to identify the main challenges and prospects of this phenomenon. It should be noted that thanks to the publication of the Digital Humanities Guide (2004), the term “digital humanities” quickly replaced “humanities computing”, became synonymous with interdisciplinary research, and began to spread rapidly around the world. The main objectives of the study are as follows: 1) Define the essence and key principles of digital humanis; 2) to analyze its impact on the development of humanities disciplines; 3) to explore the relationship between digital technologies and humanitarian values; 4) to identify potential risks and ethical dilemmas of digital humanism. Object of study: digital humanism as a philosophical and scientific concept. Subject of the study: its impact on the methodology and development of the modern humanities. The study aims to systematize knowledge about digital humanism as a new paradigm that determines the future development of the humanities in the digital age. Practical significance. Digital humanities is the product of a combination of art, technology, and science. The combination of the humanities and computing or information technology has broken down the extremely rigid barriers of the past between art and science, as well as between the humanities and technology, and has entered a new stage of mutual cooperation and overall development. The results of the research can be used to develop new educational programs, academic approaches and methodologies for researching the humanities in the digital environment. Research results can influence cultural and social changes in society, given the impact of digital technologies on human interaction and lifestyles. The study of digital humanism is of great practical importance, as it contributes to the development of technologies, improves the ethics of their use, promotes political and social change, as well as the creation of innovative solutions for modern society, harmony between the introduction of technology and the preservation of human potential.
