Information Literacy

The book offers a look into the historical background of the formulation of the concept of information literacy as a tool for successful adaptation to the information society. It does not content itself with historical analysis but also explores the broader philosophical and pedagogical foundations of the entire phenomenon. It is based on the ideas of Luciano Floridi, which it critically analyses.

The final part then offers its own conceptualisation of the topic, which requires – in the context of the rise of generative systems with artificial intelligence and societal changes – a new, deeper understanding of this phenomenon. It shows how we must learn to work with technologies in a new way to live in an informationally democratic society. Education in working with technology and information here becomes a path to a newly understood and deeper humanism.
