LIBERALISM AS A SOCIO-PHILOSOPHICAL IDEA AND EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE

Abstract

The article is devoted to defining the main socio-philosophical views on liberalism and libertarianism in the scientific discourse of political and social philosophy; highlighting the process of integration of the main liberal ideas into Ukrainian educational policy and implementation of liberal provisions in practice; investigating the origins of social and political ideas of modern liberalism and describing its conceptual positions, forms and types. The study identified liberal principles, compared liberal principles in relation to the Ukrainian education system and identified horizontal interconnections of educational institutions in the implementation of liberal ideas in education policy. As a result of scientific exploration, it was determined that education as a socio-cultural phenomenon is in the focus of constant attention and an important role in the planning and implementation of state educational policy is played by historical experience, the political structure of the state and the prevailing socio-political ideas.
