Abstract
What about the security of Information Society itself? We examine what are the most prevalent statements related to this system level. Subsequent to analyzing these, we will try to find out what constitutes the ‘knowledge sociological/theory of knowledge’ domain in which current theories are formulated. After that, we will attempt to comprehensively justify that the discourses dealing with the security issues of the information society could exclusively be built on a foundation of system theory/system dynamics. On the ground of consequences stemming from the application of system theory, we will finally propose to initiate new discourses.
