Methodologically based on the philosophical and anthropological ontology of Sergey Rubinstein the article presents philosophical-psychological concept of consciousness as an integrator of personal existence. The authors of the study suggest rethinking the issue of pattern - of - thought inheritance, which brings to existence comprehension of consciousness as it is. Historical, comparative, axiological, teleological, as well as complex and systematic investigation approaches are used in the analysis of the phenomenon of consciousness. In the study, the following research principles are applied: co-relation of biological and social, principle of personality, principle of consciousness-activity unity, principle of potentiality and actuality (of implicit and explicit). The conclusive theoretical statement of the first part of the article reveals the authors’ view on the phenomenon of consciousness as a specific functional complex of personality’s self-realization. Consciousness ensures personality’s ever-unique self-identification in his/her life path.

The article aims to prove the consistency of the meta-paradigmatic core of S. Rubinstein’s philosophical and psychological works. Central-concept-reveal procedure is based on the authentic technique, which is related to the philosophical off-text discovery as well as to the hermeneutic method of harmonization of the off-text with key-concentrations of the respective historical epoch. In the study, diachronic and synchronic analytical methods are used to determine the paradigmatic core of the author’s thought. Based on vast textual material it is shown that the mentioned quality is to be the philosophical paradigm of intentionality of Being (principal of consciousness-activity unity) taken as Being of active Personality (personal principle).

The article is devoted to the problem of the ontological status and metaphysical referents of the subject and free will. The importance of the categories of individual substance and real time for solving this problem is demonstrated. The main arguments against the theses about the ontological independence of the subject and the existence of metaphysical freedom of will, proposed in modern philosophy, are analyzed. The ontological scheme within which it is possible to keep representation about the subject possessing freedom of will and which is free from difficulties which are faced by substance dualism is proposed. It is shown how the notion of metaphysical references of free will can be used for comparative analysis and evaluation of alternative theories of free will created in the history of philosophy.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the nature of consciousness considered in the light of modern media. The objectives of the study are: 1) to identify a problematic moment in the study of the media function of consciousness, important for understanding the industry of consciousness and associated with the definition of its structure; 3) to clarify the possibility of considering the concept of modern consciousness on the model of the concept of «mass consciousness». Methods of system-functional, interdisciplinary analysis, conceptual modeling are used. General conclusion: an important point in the study of the problem of the industry of consciousness is the tendency to improper note of the content-semantic and emotional-mental sides of the actions of consciousness to the functionally verified, acting on the machine type. It is on the latter that the industry of consciousness is based. For a more detailed understanding of this trend, it is necessary to analyze consciousness taking into account its structural levels. New perspectives in the methodology of consciousness research in the sphere of digital media are proposed. The practical significance of this research is in the concretization of the mechanisms of action of consciousness and its control.

The beginning of the 21st century is marked by high speed and large-scale social changes. The characteristics of modernity are pluralism of norms and values, fractionalization and fragmentation of socio-cultural space, constantly changing scale of assessment of value priorities, speedy devaluation of socio-cultural phenomena, reduction of social distances, increase in communication, globalization changing socio-cultural phenomena. The main purpose of this paper is to present a brief historical and philosophical analysis of the development of ideas on social transformations. The considered problem of social transformations is at the junction of different directions of socio-cultural knowledge, so the methodological basis of this study is a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach, including the elements of analysis, comparison and generalization. The logic of the analysis of social transformations in the 20th century is revealed. The concept of Ulrich Beck’s metamorphosis is presented, the methodological potential of the concept «metamorphosis» is shown. It is suggested that not all concepts presented in Western philosophy are capable of explaining socio-cultural changes in Russia.

The aim of the article is to analyze axiological models of education in the context of the problem of its continuity. The author carried out a socio-philosophical analysis of the main axiological models of education: theocentric, sociocentric, naturocentric and anthropocentric. The experience of the functioning of private pedagogical systems based on these value models was also generalized. The analysis showed that each of the above mentioned axiological models of education has certain advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, none of them exists in its pure form, although this or that axiological dominant always takes place in the educational process. The theoretical significance of the study lies in the fact that the author concluded that following the value priority of a particular axiological model of education while enriching it with elements of other models ensures the development of the educational process and its continuity, which allows satisfying the educational needs of a person and society that are transformed in the process of life. This conclusion has significant practical value for the preparation of programs and projects for the development of educational organizations and educational systems in terms of their goal-setting and the choice of means to achieve the stated goals and objectives.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the process of constructing reality from the point of view of the subjects involved in it. The article presents an analysis of the views of researchers on the subject of constructing reality, based on the priority role of communication in this process. According to the results of the study, the author concluded that the process of social reality construction combines purposeful-rational causation and spontaneous synergistic causation. The significance of the work lies in summarizing a significant array of theoretical material on the construction of social reality from the point of view of the subject-oriented approach.

The purpose of the article is to substantiate the nature of creativity as an informational and energetic phenomenon, the essence of which is its spiritual and activity component, and also, based on the definition of the subject and object of creativity, to consider the mechanism of the creative process. The research methodology includes the systemic, axiomatic and energy approaches to the analysis of the creative process to determine the nature and essence of this phenomenon. The analysis allows the author to conclude that there are a number of approaches to understanding the essence of creativity, but the most justified are the synergetic, considering creativity as one of the forms of matter renewal, and energetic, viewing creativity as a result of constant exchange of energy, matter and information, as human psyche is energetic in nature and human activity results in information processing, which becomes a motive and motivator for human activity and behavior. The psyche accumulates and produces psychic energy for processing information, providing «fuel» for the activity of consciousness (intelligence). On this basis, creativity by its nature is a form of spending a person’s supply of energy, the result of which increases and develops the spiritual world of an individual. Creativity is a process of transition of non-being into being, which takes place in various forms, but leads to a spiritual and active being. Spirituality and creativity complement each other. And creativity in its essence is a spiritual-activity phenomenon. The theoretical and practical significance of the article lies in the substantiation of the energy-informational nature and the spiritual-active essence of creativity, which is an independent conclusion of the author and can become the basis for the theory of creativity.

The article analyzes the process of transition from an information society to a society based on knowledge, characteristic of today’s development of society. In this regard, the author concludes that currently there is a change of priorities in goal-setting, in which the technical and technological component becomes a force capable of determining goals for social systems and elites of society. This changes the axiological foundations of the existence of the scientific community, the system of higher education, the interaction between the humanitarian and technical spheres; goal setting in fundamental and applied research. In these contexts, the author analyzes the process of commercialization of science and education, which is objective in terms of the formation of cognitive capitalism.

The article deals with the essential characteristics of human existence associated with the creation of intangible assets through self-determination and creativity. Self-determination through the freedom forms a personal motivational awareness. The order of freedom is created in accordance with a number of goal-value indicators. The author notes the dialectical relation between the goal and the value: the goal goes through objectification, materialization and reification through basing on the value which is «significant», endowed with symbolic meaning. The human is interpreted as someone who is motivated, and the human nature (outside the dominant behavioral reflection) - as satisfying not the requirements of the environment, and projective - purposeful - reactions to various impulses. It is concluded that the value sphere can’t be understood from the standpoint of the formal logic. The most important condition for its construction should be an application of the concept of «anthropo-oriented human value».

The article is dedicated to the views of the Russian religious thinker D. S. Merezhkovsky. It is stated that D. S. Merezhkovsky considers the Trinity as the cornerstone of the sacred history: the Testament of the Father - the Testament of the Son - the Testament of the Spirit. The triad of personality-sex-society is revealed in detail. The emphasis is on the fact that the Mystery of the Three is the mystery of the Plenitude, the true Society, the way to the Kingdom of God. The specifics of Merezhkovsky’s views was that at the beginning of the 20th century he saw that humanity was moving along the path of universality and it was important what kind of universality would be accepted by humanity: the Testament of the Spirit or some kind of an atheistic international. Using historical, analytical, dialectical and systemic methods of research, the authors come to the conclusion that the relationship between the ideas of social integrity and Trinity is the original theme of D. S. Merezhkovsky’s worldview. The relevance of the topic is that at the present time, in the era of social transformations and the domination of postmodernism, the idea of social integrity again becomes very important, because without this idea any historical project is impossible.

The subject of this work is the formation of a philosophical and scientific anthropological paradigm in Soviet philosophy in the 1920s. Justifying the idea of man as a natural being Soviet philosophers relied on the economic-deterministic interpretation of Marxism, given by theorists of the Second International, and vulgar materialism of the 19th century. The Marxist concept of man was present in their works in an exaggerated form. The article reconstructs and explores the basic principles of the paradigm: the project of the «new man», the correlation of social and biological, freedom and necessity, personality and society, the problem of meaning and purpose of life. It is concluded that the development of Soviet philosophical and anthropological thought during this period was of «growth disease» nature.

The article deals with the problem of technischenwelt - menschenwelt collision. In nature, a «decision» is made by a worked-out mechanism of natural selection; in modern society based on the potential of techno-science, «decision» is made by a deficient (because of the lack of information) mechanism of pragmatics based on extrapolation of the achieved useful results. Here a problem arises of methodological and social legality of transfer of the obtained results, albeit useful, to the future. The super-task is to develop responsibility within a kind of «ethics of promises», sensitive to the techno-scientific «Game of God» and outlining ways to achieve prudent behaviour in the circuit of the dilemma «early enough to» (project) - «late enough for» (materialization of project).

Modern teaching of grammar is very complex and difficult for teachers because it requires making dull material interesting for students so that they could develop grammar and speaking skills as an outcome of their studies. One of the most difficult grammar themes is Morphology. The aim of this study was to examine the extent to which new technologies can help teachers in dealing with it. An experiment was conducted in a primary school in Niљ to examine two ways of teaching Morphology (traditional and innovative). As an example of modern technologies such Web Tools as Nearpod and Formativ were used. The author surveyed the students who took part in the experiment concerning their opinions on the procedure and compared the results of their knowledge tests in the experimental and control groups. The results turned out to be convincing of great opportunities that modern technologies provide. Formativ and Nearpod are educational platforms with the help of which the teacher creates and shares a lesson with his/her students in class (via the Internet). Using these tools allows the teacher to activate and monitor the work of all students; to check the understanding of the lessons and the acquisition of knowledge in real time.
