Abstract:

With the advent of big data and smart era， the issue of information disorder in the digital public area has emerged， encompassing misleading， false， or harmful information， whether intentionally or unintentionally disseminated. The significance of Marx’s concept of “synthesis” in terms of an epistemological revolution lies in its revelation that information disorder fundamentally underscores an epistemological dilemma centered on information distortion in the digital age. Specifically， under the influence of digital interfaces， algorithmic technologies， and digital intelligence systems， the absence of human practical activities， processes， and mechanisms gives rise to distortions in the content， capacity， and horizons of cognition. As such， the construction of a new type of “responsible” regulators， the establishment of a historical critique of the notion of intelligent fetishism， and the reinvention of a coded “tertiary retention” that highlights the mechanisms of praxis are important ideas and ways to combat information disorder within this epistemological shift.

Key words: information disorder, practical “synthesis”, cognitive reliability, Marxian epistemology
