The article discusses whether and to what extent the sciences are postmodern without considering the meaning and implications of the notion of postmodernity. Arguably, the post-industrial science is postmodern by itself just because it is defined by the paradigm of information. Science is the quintecence of postmodernity and provides the basis of informational existence of postmodern society. In other words, science is a source and medium of post-modernity. Informational science grounds its own rules and makes a link between philosophy and knowledge, connects the boundedlessness of methaphilosophical language games (Lyotard) with the transinformational theory. While the transinformational theory suggests traditional philosophical problematique, informational science creates a novel postmodern epistemology.

The monograph presents a scientific study, whose basis is three years of research study iniciated and financed by the Lithuanian State Science and Studies Foundation "Electronic Government for Citizens: Determining Development Gudelines for Lithuania Using Future Insight Methodology" (a Lithuanian SSSF project, 2007-2009). This study seeks to theoretically and practically cover all the issues of electronic government (e-government), concentrating the most important knowledge about e-government as an intergrated object of research. The monograph provides a sense of the role of e-government and its place in the life of contemporary Lithuania, indicating development perspectives and the variety of alternatives, revealing the influence of e-government on citizens and modernization of the public sphere. This e-government study is based on the relationship with development of the information society, which expresses general European democratic improvement tendencies and new forms, seeking to increase a state's competitiveness. That is why the monograph presents e-government development research, e-government strategic development model evaluation and recommendations for improvement, which are especially timely and important for the future of Lithuania.
