Education in the Context of Philosophical Reflection

   Relevance. Today, education, by virtue of its universal nature, becomes responsible for the further progress of society. The need to involve philosophy and its methodological reflections in the understanding of education and upbringing is due to the fact that education can act as a means of legitimizing or criticizing any socio-cultural phenomenon, a tool for its symbolic design and sanctioning of practices inherent in the social system within an influential system of values.
   The purpose of the work is to provide a socio-philosophical analysis of education as a way of constituting a person and society in the modern world, identifying the essence, functional role, features of its manifestation in the context of the fundamental socio-cultural challenges of the modern information society.
   Objectives: substantiation of the need for the development of reflective thinking as a sense-creating factor for the education system in the modes of the information society; study of the sociocultural consequences of the functioning of education in situations of modern and postmodern societies.
   Methodology. The methodological basis of the article is: the deconstruction method, which allows to identify the semantic dimensions of traditional and modern education in the context of their transformations; the method of comparative studies, which made it possible to comprehend the crisis of education in the context of the dynamics of the development of information technologies; the method of hermeneutics, which reflects the approach to identifying the characteristics of the sphere of education as a condition for the development of the essential forces of a person.
   Results. The paper reveals the conceptual meanings of educational activities, which, in the context of a pluralistic reality, creates opportunities for posing and solving urgent social, economic, political and cultural problems, influencing the ways of their knowledge and comprehension.
   Conclusions. In the modern world, information, having become the most important resource for socioeconomic development, determined the trajectory of the transformation of knowledge in the direction of technological optimization of its productivity, fragmentation, pragmatization and digitalization, the criterion of which is efficiency. Education as a space of human self-organization is the process of formation of integral knowledge. The ambivalence inherent in education is expressed in the simultaneous focus on the task of forming individuals in accordance with the principles of a particular society and the task of promoting the development of human subjectivity.
