“Digital Magic” of Power: the First Managerial Revolution

The article deals with the problem of ideological scientific sources of the first technologies of power. The myth of the «machine of power» was born simultaneously with the myth of digital management of the society. The first rational foundations of the concept of technological process were developed by thinkers of the Renaissance and the Modern Тimes. The first technological revolutions changed approaches to the problems of politics and law. Deep spiritual and intellectual processes were conceptualised in legislation and political technologies. The magic of managing things and people formed the basis of the Mega-machine that had been evolving since ancient times till the Modern Times. Even contemporary technologies of control and governing contain the elements of magicism reduced to technical manipulation of individuals and entire masses. A number, figure and manipulation form the heart of political technologies.
