Upon creation of communication networks, people called their
content "information" and started to deal with this content as with
any routine and commonplace objects - produce, consume, distribute,
store, sell and buy. There are electronic markets, electronic
media, e-mail, social and gaming networks, where people are
building almost a full life with its economy, politics, psychology
... and pathology. E-life generates huge amount of texts, which are
archived and stored. These texts contain, perhaps, the answers to
all questions, as well as those questions. In principle, if only I
knew how, from this array we are likely to gain all that knowledge
of humankind. If you would just know how. Someday search algorithms
will achieve a degree of perfection that we will no longer have the
problem of the search itself. But it's a belief of only the most
hardcore programmers. Information experts, discussing their small
applied problems, gradually "expand horizons" and start
philosophizing, with not much of reflection. Talk about "taxonomy,"
"ontologies," "hierarchy," as well as attempts to give these
philosophical notions the operational form, little by little have
become commonplace among the "advanced" specialists, who act as
creators of the new information philosophy. Publications of this
kind would rather replenish arrays of texts already stored in the
network than solve the problem of searching the content of these
networks. Nevertheless, the drift from technological to
philosophical attempts at solutions is very indicative. But its
focus is doubtful, because philosophizing was, is and will be no
more than just philosophizing. Another thing is to try to
understand what tool could be drawn from the information contained
in the philosophical texts, including those devoted to the
philosophy of information. Such intent is equally justified, just
as is the philosophizing, but not familiar. It is usually assumed
that the philosophy does not contain the information which can be
processed with known statistical methods. Contrary to this view, we
believe that the philosophy and philosophizing, in addition to
frequently elusive meaning, contain specific information, and we
can learn to extract it. This very information might solve many
problems of the search in a meaningful way. This paper uses the
philosophical in its origin concepts of "world view," "ontology"
"outlook," "reality" and its levels, which are operationalized and
redefined in the course of presentation
