Without exaggeration, learning problems are among the most complex and most controversial not only in pedagogical and philosophical science but also in other scientific areas. We are talking about the philosophy of education as a general paradigm of the organization and content of all that knowledge - scientific and non-scientific - that we pass on to pupils and students through education, about worldview values that are brought up, merged in the process of educational and educational activities, the certainty of the spiritual world of the individual which is formed at school and university and determines her personal position, role and ways of behavior in postmodern society. Education is an important stage in the formation of the human soul, his spiritual world. Consciousness, like other qualities of the human psyche, results from education and acquisition of social experience. An important means of forming a person's consciousness is the educational system, which contributes to the spiritual development of a person. Since it is education that is that social institution, it performs the functions of preparing and including the individual in various spheres of the life of postmodern society and attracting him to culture. Human consciousness is the ideological foundation of aim and reliable knowledge. In this context, consciousness is the possibility and condition of the world, the individual can perceive and develop his spirituality. Education in this case is the most effective way to form a person's spirituality. Since, besides a certain profession, education gives a person the opportunity to spiritually improve himself.

The paper is devoted to the study of semantic and functional features of expressive derivatives, both usual and occasional, in the artistic gist of the novel “Asan” by V. Makanin, as well as their role in structuring the individual-author’s linguistic picture of the world. It has been proven that the derivation of expressive lexemes is the result of improvisation according to established patterns, and that the formation of occasional substantives, adjectives and verbs involved the main methods of the Russian word derivation. It is noted that in the artistic discourse of V. Makanin, in the substantive word-formation, suffixation plays a leading role, which takes place in the sphere of abstractness and includes such lexical-semantic groups as expressive substantives with the meaning of a person, expressive substantives with the meaning of abstracted action or an abstract feature with connotation, as a rule, negative and/or reduced colloquial connotation. While in the sphere of adjectival and verbal word formation, confixation and prefixation, as the formation of expressiveness, is most productive. The paper considers the phenomenon of semantic word formation, describes the formation of semantic derivatives, including in the field of occasional vocabulary. Expressive derivatives in the artistic discourse of V. Makanin are a bright sign of his individual style, an important means of expressing the world view and outlook of the writer.

Green was a prominent Oxford idealist philosopher, who criticized both the epistemological and ethical implications of the dominant empiricist and utilitarian theories of the time. He contended that experience could not be explained merely as the product of sensations acting on the human mind. Like Kant, Green argued that knowledge presupposes certain a priori categories, such as substance, causation, space and time, which enable us to structure our understanding of empirical reality. Physical objects and even the most simple feelings are only intelligible as relations of ideas constituted by human consciousness. However, unlike Kant, he did not draw the conclusion that things in themselves are consequently unknowable. Rather, he argued that reality itself is ultimately spiritual, the product of an eternal consciousness operating within both the world and human reason. Green adopted a similarly anti-naturalist and holistic position in ethics, in which desires are seen as orientated towards the realization of the good – both within the individual and in society at large. In politics, this led him to criticize the laissez-faire individualist liberalism of Herbert Spencer and, to a lesser extent, of J.S. Mill, and to advocate a more collectivist liberalism in which the state seeks to promote the positive liberty of its members.

Faith and understanding are in a complex relationship with each other; they are living in their own way in the depths of every developed human consciousness. I believe in something and I understand something, but I do not understand everything I believe in, but sometimes I believe in something I don’t understand at all. Add the problem of proof to this. Not all that we believe in can be supported by proof. Relationship of faith, understanding and proof are designated as “intimate” by the author of the article because they are immersed in the depth of consciousness of each of the individual characters-personalities. Thus, it is proposed to call “faith” a certain directed state of the psyche, subordinate not to the dictatorship of external influences but to the internal intentions of the personality determining one of the directions of his inner world. “Understanding” is the ability, the skill of consciousness to establish a causal relationship placing the “phenomenon” in the frame of one of the existing pictures of the world or creating a new one. “Understanding” can also be attributed to the inner world of another person. Do you understand me…“Proof” is the ability to confirm something with certain constructions: arguments and theories, including axioms that do not require proof. The article expands on the content of the entire designated triad, but, most of all, the author pays attention to the questions of faith. Faith is mentioned in the article, above all, in connection with the theory and practice of religions, but faith, the author believes, is present even in the most rigorous sciences. The most common, characteristic case is the belief in the semantic ability of mathematics. One can also call the judgment of faith in a sufficiently finite number of expert checks to finally confirm the law relating to an infinite (in potency) number of cases. As a result of the movement on the topic, the author comes to the thought of immersing himself in the inner world of the individual. He immerses and imagines it both as an intimate property of the personality, and as the thing capable of covering outer space with the thought. My world is a gift from Heaven or Nature. Whose exactly is a matter of faith.

The article describes the psychological views on the problem of gender equality in Ukraine and the world. It is determined that the concept of "gender" appeared in the socio-humanitarian knowledge of the second half of the twentieth century. as derived from the concept of "gender", and gender is a set of cultural and social characteristics that covers all areas of human activity. It is noted that there are three main directions in understanding the term: gender as a biodetermined category, gender as a socio-biological category, gender as a socio-cultural category (outlined their essence and content). The peculiarities of gender as a social institution are presented, the peculiarities of gender as a social institution are expressed through: a certain system of management of gender processes; development of own system of functioning and control of reproduction of gender values; reproduction of gender practice by generations of people; large-scale coverage of people; satisfaction of basic human needs - biovital, social and spiritual-cognitive complexes of needs of women and men; developing both common and different gender values and norms; development of its material and technical base. It is determined that modern theories of gender relations prove that social differences between men and women do not have a biological origin, are not eternally given, but only acquired, attributed to the individual by society.

The author proposes to turn to a detailed consideration of such form of activity as “creativity”, proposing it as the main form of practical refraction of the spiritual appearance of the personality, as its essential effective component. The category “creativity” is viewed as a synthesis of creativity and a willingness to transform the world, a motivation to work for the benefit of humanity. In this respect, the semantic equivalent of this term, which is widely spread among various language groups, is somewhat broader than its English version of this category – the term “building” or “creativity”, which, we think, focus more on the external aspect of the activity, character and transformation results than in the inner spiritual impulse to collective altruistic work. We regard “creativity” as a category, which embodying creativity, but not reduced to it, largely taking into account the nature of the relationship with previous transformations, continuity, in essence, as a manifestation of culture in its original meaning of processing and improvement. In this context, the category of “creativity”, taking into account the nature of homeostasis, maintaining the stability of the system, can be considered as a necessary element of sustainable development, directing a noospheric society, overcoming the system of environmental, demographic problems. Like the English term “building,” the category “creativity” reveals the nature of achieving an intellectual goal through projective engineering, inventive activity, and modernization of production. At the same time, the term “creativity” takes into consideration the cumulative capital of achievements, accumulation, enrichment, and the systemic nature of doing business, expressed by the term “management”, as the art of system management. Creativity is considered as an organic unity of demonstration of social and personal and, therefore, can be considered as a kind of spiritual bridge connecting culture and civilization, the world of dreams, the world of imagination, the spiritual world and the world of everyday life. Creativity is not only an ontological expression of the “rootedness” of the individual in the system of personal and social being, such as the nature of life activity that guarantees survival, protection and security, but also a motivational readiness for a fundamental transformation of the world that can prevent the destructive impact on civilization of global present-day problems. We believe that Creativity should be considered as the leading concept of education, supporting in the personality’s aimed at self-affirmation and development that is being a condition for moving to the future.

Homo Faber

The article discusses the role of Homo Faber’s human labor in the development of civilization, the development of a human himself as a thinking being (Homo sapiens). The fact of the deep crisis of Homo Faber, fixed in fiction and philosophical studies, is stated. The attempts of representatives of the “school of human relations” to intensify the motivation and creative activity of Homo Faber are analyzed. The factors of modern production that contribute to the destruction of the spirituality of the individual and the degradation of Homo Faber are revealed. The possibilities of his spiritual development, concluded in the model of Homo Humanus, giving hope to Homo Faber for a better destiny, are considered. Possible ways of development of Homo Faber are explored: the use of personality selfdevelopment resources, human adaptation to civilized tectonic shifts, as well as the variant of managing human evolution. The strategy of evolutionary change includes: the goal that is to form Homo Spiritus (spiritual man), as the highest form of Homo Humanus. It determines the choice of means of managerial influence - using a powerful arsenal of education, science and modern technology, allowing significant expansion of space exploration, the microworld, consciousness and, having received innovative knowledge about the world, to cause cathartic processes in the human soul, to form the desire for spiritual ascent. The process of influencing on human consciousness is planned to be carried out taking into account the main stages of spiritual self-development definition. Thus, at the stage of a person formation – to bring up spiritual qualities (curiosity, cordiality and diligence), at the stage of personality formation - spiritual (openness to the world, intelligence and creativity). At the stage of self-assertion in life, to achieve the integration of the processes of increasing the plasticity of a personality, as an ability to manifest a state of spirituality in various spheres of being, and spiritual concentration, as the depth of the world perception. At the stage of self-realization of the personality, to support the desire for transcendence and the fullness of self-expression. Using the principles of the concept of continuous development and relying on the arsenal of the possibilities of the lifelong concept of lifelong education affirmed in society, to counteract the spiritual degradation of the individual. Aiming to intensify aspirations in spiritual self development, the author suggests studying the academic discipline “Fundamentals of Human Evolution”, the content of which consists of interrelated sections, each of which is intended to ensure the emergence of a certain modification of the spiritual image of the personality: Homo wondering (person surprising, revealed to the world), Intelligent Populous (person of intelligent), organically combining Homo Cogitate (a person capable of deep reflective critical thinking) and Homo Responsible (a person in charge), Homo Inspired (human inspired to create), creating together the image of a human of spiritual noospheric future – Homo Spiritus.

This chapter examines the contours of the self in Philo's Allegorical Commentary. Throughout the Allegorical Commentary, Philo is concerned with the human self, introducing to Judaism a new language of introspection and spirituality. Interpreting the book of Genesis allegorically, he leads the reader from the concrete figures of the Bible to the intricacies of the human soul. The aim is to know oneself and the ethereal realities that cannot be grasped by the senses. Philo himself is turned inward, observing the struggle of his soul between material and rational elements. He neither reflects yet upon himself as an author in the text nor shares experiences from life in the world. The center of his ethics is God, whom humanity is called to imitate. This upward view to real values transcends the world and disconnects the individual from society.
