THE POSSIBILITIES OF ENSURING SOCIAL JUSTICE IN A DIGITAL SOCIETY

This article presents the characteristics that describe a society based on the digital economy. In the process of forming a digital society, attention is paid to the fact that the problems of social justice do not lose their relevance. The organizational and functional features of its implementation were considered, in particular, the mechanisms for combining human interests and the goals of society.

The authors expressed their views on the identification of the difference between the philosophical and sociological interpretation of social justice, as well as on the relationship of the concepts of equality and freedom with the phenomenon of justice. The philosopher of antiquity Aristotle, as well as European sociologists of the new era, in particular, a major representative of modern sociology P. Burdie, relied on his thematic views, were analyzed. While the authors consider the role of the digital economy in the economy and the impact on social life on a global scale, they tried to justify the fact that the digital economy itself does not solve problems of social justice, but creates certain opportunities. At this point, the authors drew conclusions based on the data of their survey.
