Egy túlterhelt fogalom
An overloaded concept

Summary/Abstract: This paper gives a particular definition of the „information society” by outlining its origins and the process of institutionalisation resulting in its creation, and presenting the way that led to this notion of a social formation becoming asymmetrical and overloaded. The author applies a semantic-pragmatic approach. In the final analysis, he argues that a) by scientific standards, to make the concept uniform or to turn it into political ideology are both dangerous because by this b) it will lose its multiplicity of meaning and diversity of interpretation.
