“…The emergence of a new class of intellectuals - the intellectual elite - is associated with the transition to an information civilization, which is considered by futurologists as the modern stage of human development, when intelligence becomes the central concept, and intellectual culture determines the level of intelligence development.The study of the role of the intellectual elite in the society and the description of the "portrait" of a representative of the intellectual elite is the purpose of the research.The methodological basis of the research is a dialectical logic, which gives an idea of the patterns of the development; a systematic approach associated with the idea of an object as an integral system, with the identification of diverse types of connections of a complex object and bringing them into a single theoretical picture.As a result of the research, the main purpose of the intellectual elite has been revealed, the features of intellectual labor in a society with a network structure of interaction determined, and the conclusion made that the intellectual elite is at the same time a spiritual and moral elite, i.e. represents the modern intelligentsia.The rationale for the introduction of the new concept of "Homo intellectualis" (intellectual person) into scientific circulation can be considered as a key conclusion.The relevance of the topic and its practical significance is connected with the strategic line of the state to raise the prestige of intellectual labor and increase the intellectual potential of the nation.…”
