Abstract
Dealing with cyber epistemology is important and necessary due to the fact that cyberspace has gradually become a source of human knowledge and will undoubtedly become a part of the human brain in the future. Today, we turn to Google for information, not to specialized books and encyclopedias and specialists. Internet and social networks are the foundation of today's information society. Without them, there would be no information society. But the human mind gradually expands and becomes an expanded mind through the Internet. The extended mind interacts with information processing. This mind will process information in certain ways. Cyber knowledge or knowledge that users gain in cyber space, or virtual knowledge that they find in cyber space can have different forms. In this case, we base the discussion on the phenomenological division of cyber (virtual) knowledge. From this point of view, cyber knowledge is divided into two types: passive cyber knowledge, extra manual cyber knowledge. This article aims to discuss this.
