scholarly journals VLADIMIR SHYNKARUK'S PHILOSOPHICAL HUMANISM

Within Marxism, anthropologisation and humanization took place either under the influence of the ideas of early Marx or in view of social change. The latter was characteristic of Volodymyr Shinkaruk's philosophy. The proposed philosophical concept of creative scientific and technical work proved fruitful in post-industrial society. It is proved that Volodymyr Shinkaruk saw the anthropological principles of humanism in the personal pursuit of the future. This desire ensured the acceptance of values and accelerated progress in science, but could also be a reason for utopianism.

In the post-industrial revolution world, social change is often studied and understood in the context of change in means of production, mobility, urbanization and change in the constitution of workforce. Role of ethical values is generally confined to personal conduct and manners. Industrial society is supposed to have its own work ethics which may or may not agree with personal ethics and morality. Ethics and morality are generally considered, in the Western thought, as a social construct. Therefore, with the change in means of production or political system, values and morality are also expected to be re-adjusted in order to cope with the changed environment. Sometimes a totally new set of values emerges as a consequence of the change in economic, political, or legal set up. The present research tries to understand the meaning and place of these values in a global socio-cultural framework. Relying essentially on the divine principles of the Qur'ān it makes an effort to understand relevance of these universal and ultimate principles with human conduct and behavior in society.  It indicates that essentially it is the core values, principles, or norms which guide human beings in their interpersonal, social, economic and political matters. Islam being a major civilizing force, culture, and the way of life, provides values which guide both in individual and social matters. The values given by the Qur’ān and the Sunnah are not monopoly of the Muslim. These values are universal and are relevant in a technological society.

Профессиология — научная дисциплина, находящаяся на стадии становления. Предпосылки актуализации профессиологических исследований связаны с тенденциями современного постиндустриального общества. Оформление методологического аппарата профессиологии, кристаллизация внутренней структуры научной дисциплины требует интенсивного обмена идеями, тесного взаимодействия ученых и практиков, чему и был посвящен нетворкинг «Профессиология — проекция в будущее». Цель мероприятия: анализ современного состояния и перспектив развития профессиологии как области научного знания. В ходе дискуссии по методологическим основам профессиологии участники представили свои взгляды на предмет и структуру данной дисциплины, обсудили проблему неэффективности традиционных методов профессиографирования и поиска новых подходов. Анализ современных тенденций развития мира профессий позволил определить перспективные направления профессиологических исследований: научно обоснованное проектирование новых профессий; изучение трансформации психологических механизмов профессионального и личностного становления в условиях прогнозируемого изменения структуры занятости; экспериментальное апробирование технологических возможностей для устранения факторов профессиональной непригодности, развития профессионально важных качеств, оптимизации функциональных состояний человека в процессе труда. Также были выделены профессиологические технологии проектирования и сопровождения карьеры в современных условиях: профориентация на основе модульного подхода, профессиональные пробы. Professionology is a scientific discipline that is at the stage of formation. The prerequisites for the actualisation of occupational research are related to the trends of modern post-industrial society. The design of the methodological apparatus of professionology, the crystallisation of the internal structure of the scientific discipline, requires an intensive process of exchanging ideas, a close interaction of scientists and practitioners. That was the subject of the networking “Professionology — projection into the future”. The purpose of the event: analysis of the current state and prospects for the development of professionology as a field of scientific knowledge. During the discussion on the methodological foundations of professionology, the participants presented their views on the subject and structure of this discipline, discussed the inefficiency of traditional methods of professionography and the search for new approaches. The analysis of modern trends in the development of the world of professions allowed us to identify promising areas of professional research. One of them: scientifically-based design of new professions. Another: study of the transformation of the psychological mechanisms of professional and personal formation in the conditions of the predicted change in the employment structure. One more is experimental testing of technological capabilities to eliminate the factors of professional unfitness, the development of professionally important qualities, and optimisation of a person’s functional states in the work process. Furthermore, occupational technologies for designing and supporting a career in modern conditions: career guidance based on a modular approach, professional tests were identified.

In the midst of pervasive malaise America tries to look forward to celebrating its bicentennial. It is not an easy thing to celebrate a birthday when the body and spirit are sick. Little wonder that social analysts and critics are calling for a renewal of the American spirit, the recovery of an American tradition from the distortions of our recent past. It is this tradition that must provide guidance for the future that is already upon us. Daniel Bell, in his The Coming of Post-Industrial Society, is but the latest of the company of exhorters, which includes such critics as Sydney Ahlstrom, Robert Bellah and Gibson Winter.

The article is devoted to the problem of modernization of the Russian society, which is central from a practical and theoretical point of view for the existence of the Russian state. It is connected with the nature of the culture of Russian civilization, with the sociocultural type of personality and society that requires its reformatting. These are both traditional mechanisms involved in the reproduction of Russian society and innovative development factors. The focus is on the modern civilizational Challenge, which has stretched over several decades. Even such a grandiose transformation as the deconstruction of the USSR did not lead to the Answer to the Challenge. A closed, authoritarian type of Russian society with a two-dimensional traditional cultural code can be modernized only by using an external factor as a transformation lever. The article describes the specifics of Russian civilization in connection with the peculiarities of modernization at the stage of transition to post-industrial society. This transition included a crisis of a two-dimensional sociocultural code reflected in Soviet ideology and social practice, overcoming the closure of the country, and using the social and technological innovations of the West. The two-dimensional code did not provide restructuring and transition to post-industrial civilization by borrowing technological and social innovation. Modern ontology of sociality is constructed by synergy of media interactions. Media is a word and deed that designs and formats social reality. At present, the humanities can be anthropologically effective if they turn into media design that designs and formats social reality. The creators of social and anthropological design are social energy actors — scientists, proactive subcultures. The traditional national sociocode is gradually transformed under the influence of globalization, adapted to it, or aggressively extremist enters the fight against postmodernization (fundamentalist extremism). The postmodernization of the Russian society includes its diversification, also manifests itself in a multiplicity of intents into the future. The two-dimensional code of negative identity is overcome, according to the laws of synergy, through chaos and new sociality will be formed either spontaneously or by the method of managed chaos, if domestic managers, who still keep the Russian society in a state of sluggish stagnation, are ripe for it. However, the principle of bifurcation reminds us that the future is ambiguous. Without mastering the art of managed chaos, one cannot take a productive step in social governance and development.

This article briefly discusses various definitions and concepts of the so-called information society. The term information society has been proposed to refer to the post-industrial society in which information plays a pivotal role. The definitions that have been proposed over the years highlight five underlying characterisations of an information society: technological, economic, sociological, spatial, and cultural. This article discusses those characteristics. While the emergence of an information society may be just a figment of one’s imagination, the concept could be a good organising principle to describe and analyse the changes of the past 50 years and of the future in the 21st century.
