Realization of Spiritual Potential in the Sociocultural Space: the Philosophy of Education

Abstract

The relevance of the article lies in the fact that the development of Ukrainian statehood, implementation of reforms in education and development of civil society is impossible without the development of Ukrainian spirituality. The process of globalization of today's society has a huge number of global problems associated with the obstacles to achieving harmony between man and nature, underestimating the development of each individual as unique, playing a crucial role in creating a special spiritual atmosphere, in revealing the creativity of life. Spirituality in the socio-cultural space should be understood as "man in man", as a quality of man, characterizing the motivation of human behavior, the process of his self-knowledge and the choice of life goals. The highest value of human existence is the human person. The notions of human qualities that allow full self-expression in the service of universal human interests are analyzed. Philosophy of education notes that the main purpose of human development is not only the satisfaction of needs, but also self-development, the full disclosure of the intellectual and cultural abilities of man. The article deepens the concept of the spiritual potential of today's mass culture in the current philosophy of education; reveals the ways of formation of spiritual potential in the postmodern space; outlines the quality of time in the socio-cultural space of postmodernism.
