Abstract

The purpose of this article is to discuss cyberculture from the viewpoint of
knowledge. The Cartesian perspective of knowing reality provided the technical advance which resulted in digital technology environment with which we live today. But this progress has also brought its problems, as the fragmentation of knowledge and our lack of understanding of reality and its consequences. This paper proposes the paradigm of complexity as a potentially more effective understanding of cyberculture.
