Humanistic aspect of communicative interaction in modern education

N. Ashytok — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

Introduction. Reforming education on humanistic principles is gaining importance in Ukraine. The emergence of the specified
humanistic orientation of education is due to the formation of a humanistic "innovative society". A key factor for the successful progress of such a society is the presence of highly qualified personnel, on the level of competence (particularly in the field of communication) of which the well-being of the population depends. The aim and tasks. Understanding the specifics of communicative interaction in modern education from a humanistic point of view is the aim of the article, which is specified through the following tasks: to analyze the works that explore the specified process, to outline the problems that arise in its organization. Research methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study includes general scientific and special methods and approaches, through which communicative interaction in modern education will be studied from a humanistic aspect. One of these approaches is the competency-based approach. Research results. Humanism is currently considered a progressive ideology, and a sign of a high level of culture of a particular people. Humanism involves the recognition of universal human values as a priority in ensuring human rights, as well as the formation of a comprehensively developed personality. Improving the organization of education on a humanistic basis is possible only if there is communicative interaction, which contributes to the establishment of the individual as the highest social value. Education should be characterized by humanocentrism, which is ensured at the communicative level by changing the subject-object interaction into subjectsubject interaction. This interaction is characterized by the recognition of the student as an equal participant in educational activity, rather than as an object of the teacher's influence. Discussion. In the context of educating a humanistically oriented personality, the development of communicative competence should be promoted in the context of improving critical thinking and media literacy, as well as the cultivation of skills to counter disinformation. Conclusions. Humanistic communicative interaction with a subject-subject nature ensures the successful and effective implementation of the tasks of reforming Ukraine’s modern educational system. Therefore, it should be carried out in the context of professional training to form communicative competence in future teachers.

THE COMMUNICATIVE SPACE OF EDUCATION IN THE INFORMATION SOCIETY

H. Kleshnia — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

Introduction The growing use of social networks, digital media, and other online platforms has profoundly reshaped modes of
communication and perception of information. These shifts begin at the earliest stages of consciousness development in childhood and influence the formation of personal identity. Information and communication technologies (ICT) not only transform the methods of teaching and communication, but also alter the very foundations of worldview formation and personal development. These technologies offer new modes of perceiving reality and foster innovative approaches to problem-solving. In this context, the virtualization of the educational communicative space follows two alternative trajectories: the first is an attempt at mimicry, in which the educational system merely adapts to new digital realities; the second envisions the evolution of the educational environment into an ergonomic and highly flexible space, aligned with the learner’s individual needs. The aim and tasks are to comprehend the communicative space of education within the context of the information society, define potential directions, and outline prospects for education as a domain of personal development. Research methods include general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, and generalization) as well as the anthropological (M. Buber, H. Woolf) and axiological (A. Clark, B. Skinner, J. Hazard) approaches. These have enabled the conceptual understanding of the communicative space of education and the identification of its influence on the formation of the modern individual. Research results. It has been demonstrated that informatization has penetrated all spheres of social existence, significantly affecting communication processes, which now largely depend on the Internet and ICT. At the same time, the information society exerts a reverse influence on human social functions by depersonalizing interaction and contributing to the decline of students’ social or soft skills in higher education. In turn, this requires a renewed understanding of the changes in the biosocial nature of the human being. Discussion. In the context of transformative changes in technogenic civilization, scientific and pedagogical experience of recent years has highlighted the importance of maintaining the development of thinking rather than focusing solely on the transmission of information. With the advancement of ICT and the Internet, access to information and knowledge is no longer the central issue of the educational process. Instead, the emphasis shifts toward teaching individuals to think, as thinking serves as the mechanism for generating new knowledge. In this regard, the preservation of worldview, closely linked to the capacity for thinking, becomes a key focus of higher education as it undergoes transformation in the digital age. Conclusions. The information society exerts a transformative influence on the social functions of the individual, contributing to the depersonalization of interpersonal communication and the erosion of social, socalled soft skills among students in higher education. These shifts necessitate a renewed philosophical reflection on the evolving biosocial nature of man in the context of digital modernity.

NATIONAL IDENTITY AND THE WAYS OF ITS AFFIRMATION IN THE CONTEXT OF MULTICULTURALISM

O. Matyukhina — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

Introduction. The article outlines the key aspects of the development of the national communicative space in contemporary society. Within the context of the current global multicultural society, the formation and maintenance of a communicative space of national culture is a crucialcondition for preserving identity. The affirmation of national identity in the modern globalized world emerges as a response to the challenge of multiculturalism. The aim of the study is to conceptualize the communicative space of Ukrainian culture as a means of affirming national identity in both the social and personal dimensions. Research methods. To achieve the stated aim, the study employs a cultural-historical methodological approach, along with structural-functional, historical, and logical methods. Research results. The intensification of globalization and multiculturalism processes, in turn, stimulates the intensification of processes related to the affirmation of national identity. The article highlights new pathways for affirming national identity, such as festivals, modern communication technologies, and ethnodesign. These enrich the national dimension of the contemporary urban space and contribute to the affirmation of values, categories, and meanings of national culture within the social and individual communicative space. Emphasis is placed on the importance of dialogue with traditional culture and its creative appropriation for the optimal integration of Ukrainian society into globalization processes while preserving its own national identity. Discussion.
The phenomenon of national identity and the ways of its realization in the context of multiculturalism are analyzed in the works of many domestic and foreign scholars. Conclusions. Multiculturalism in the modern world promotes not only cosmopolitanism and the spread of de-nationalized mass culture but also the activation of national self-identification processes. The affirmation and development of national identity are inherent to contemporary Ukrainian society. The foundation of this identity is Ukrainian culture. In the modern world, national communicative space serves as the basis for affirming national social and personal identity amidst the ongoing processes of globalization and multiculturalism.

КОМУНІКАТИВНИЙ ПОТЕНЦІАЛ МИСТЕЦТВА В РЕАЛІЯХ ІНФОРМАЦІЙНОГО СУСПІЛЬСТВА

L. Mokliak — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

Introduction. The first quarter of the 21st century has witnessed profound civilizational shifts driven by technological advancement, global crises, and growing existential tension. In times of war, migration, and destructive transformation, an individual’s spiritual self-grounding and ability to preserve identity through engagement with culture have become especially vital. Art, as a form of active communication, offers a path toward deeper dialogue, empathy, and the preservation of a sense of human being. The aim and tasks. This article aims to explore the communicative potential of art, its essence, and its specific characteristics within the cultural context of the information society. It also seeks to reveal the role of art in the current system of cultural communication. Research methods. The main method employed is the dialectical approach, applied at all levels of analysis to uncover the features of art as a communicative system. In addition, sociocultural and interdisciplinary methodologies are used to examine the issue through socio-philosophical, aesthetic, cultural, and psychological perspectives. Research results. The specificity of artistic communication is distinguished by its ability to transform communication to its highest level that is interaction. Interaction is characterized by subject–subject engagement, dialogical openness, reciprocity, and empathy. Art, as a form of spiritual culture and a specific sphere of creative activity, also serves as a distinct and powerful form of social communication. It is a living, direct, spiritual-emotional process of interaction between the creator and the recipient (viewer, listener, reader), mediated through the artwork itself.
Discussion. Art, as a unique form of aesthetic communication, enables a profound dialogical encounter between creator and recipient, fostering understanding beyond language or culture. Through such interaction, it reveals universal human values and becomes a powerful medium for spiritual connection and emotional transformation. Conclusions. In today’s information society, communicative technologies often contribute not to inner harmony, but to the erosion of spiritual and value-based orientations. Art, by contrast, preserves the capacity to attune the "spiritual tuning fork of humanity," evoking empathy, hope, and faith in human dignity. To protect and nurture this potential, it must be supported both by educational and cultural policy and by individual moral responsibility.

ETHNOPOLITICS OF SWEDEN IN THE CONTEXT OF CULTURAL DIVERSITY

O. Rusul — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

Introduction. The article examines Sweden’s multiethnic landscape, emphasizing the country’s multicultural evolution amid rising
migration. It outlines the impact of cultural diversity on Sweden’s societal development and explores the specifics of migrant integration into Swedish society. The aim is to consider Sweden’s ethnopolitics in the context of cultural diversity. Research methods include general scientific methods to explore cultural diversity and Sweden’s ethnopolitics. The principle of historicism clarifies migrant integration processes over time. Sociocultural and civilizational approaches reveal the specifics of Sweden’s multiethnic development and its response to cultural globalization. Research results. Sweden serves as an example of how cultural diversity in Europe cannot be ignored. The country promotes cultural equality while maintaining its own language and traditions. A key feature of Sweden’s integration model is its emphasis on intercultural dialogue: migrants are encouraged to respect local values through education, while their cultural identities are also recognized. This approach helps reduce the risk of intercultural conflict and positions Sweden as a model of multicultural development rooted in cultural pluralism. Discussion. The sustainability of Sweden’s cultural diversity amid rising migration depends on the continued effectiveness of its integration model based on cultural equality. While many European countries struggle with intercultural tensions linked to the migration crisis, Sweden exemplifies a long-standing approach that fosters dialogue and minimizes conflict through the recognition of equal cultural rights. Conclusions. Recent migration flows to Europe have intensified scholarly interest in the development of ethnopolitical strategies. In Sweden, ethnopolitics is shaped by the principle of cultural equality within a context of diversity, reflecting a soft model of multicultural integration. While the preservation of the national language and culture remains a priority—through policies promoting Swedish language acquisition and cultural education—migrants are also free to maintain their own traditions. Such a balanced approach fosters intercultural tolerance and facilitates effective intercultural communication, making Sweden’s case particularly relevant for further research on multicultural integration and ethnopolitical strategies in Europe.

ОСНОВНІ ТЕНДЕНЦІЇ ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЇ СУЧАСНОЇ ПРОФЕСІЙНОЇ КУЛЬТУРИ

А. Fabryka — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

Introduction. Professional culture undergoes regular changes, as the nature of any profession requires constant improvement of its
theoretical foundations and the modernization of approaches to performing professional tasks. However, the changes observed today are distinguished by their scale, depth, and rapid pace. They are primarily driven by globalization, the influence of Westernization (particularly Americanization) on the organizational context of professional activity, and the development of new technologies. These factors collectively define the main trends in the transformation of professional culture. The aim and tasks. The article aims to identify the main trends in the transformation of modern professional culture. Achieving this goal involves defining of the concept of professional culture and its main elements; assessing changes in professional culture resulting from globalization and the impact of Westernization on the organizational context; and analyzing the effects of technological development on the professional sphere of society. Research methods. Structural-functional and systematic approaches are the methodological basis of the research. Research results. The study reveals that transnational professional organizations and management regimes emerging from globalization contribute to the unification of professional culture. Changes in the organisational context of professional activity through the intensive promotion of the Western, American model of organisational culture contribute to the bureaucratisation and commercialisation of the culture of the profession. As a result, the impact of technological development is predicted to increase the importance of professional skills such as the use of artificial intelligence and working with big data, analytical thinking, creative thinking, etc. Discussion. The definition of professional culture and the assessment of changes taking place in it are related to a specific approach to understanding the profession. In this regard, some of our findings may not coincide with the point of view of other authors. Conclusions. Professional culture is losing its national peculiarities and is being unified according to the Western standard. This process is accompanied by greater bureaucratization, commercialization, and technologization.

PECULIARITIES OF COMMUNICATION IN THE EDUCATIONAL SPHERE OF THE DIGITAL SOCIETY

N. Chenbai, S. Herasymenko — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

Inftroduction. Social media has become a distinctive environment for the socialization of modern youth, displacing traditional social
institutions where communication once took place. This situation may potentially give rise to numerous societal problems in the
future, prompting efforts to address them through a comprehensive reform of the educational system. Researchers have
increasingly focused on the problem of communication, which has acquired a philosophical dimension and, accordingly, requires a
deeper understanding of its essence and the identification of ways to resolve it. The aim of the study is to identify the specific
features of communication and interaction in the educational sphere under conditions of digitalization. Research methods are the
systemic and sociocultural approaches, the principle of historicism, and the methods of logical analysis and synthesis. Research
results. The history of humanity demonstrates a direct correlation between the level of civilization and the duration of the
educational process. In the digital age, a person must possess a conscious need for knowledge, on which the quality of life directly
depends. Therefore, new tasks have arisen for educators. The cognitive activity of young people and their interest in learning
depend on the teacher's ability to create the necessary conditions for effective communication during the educational process. For an educational institution to fulfill its mission, communication at all levels requires the use of various channels, methods, and means. Discussion. The digitalization of the educational process is an objective reality, which in our country is unfolding under challenging conditions. Educators had to quickly adapt and establish communication in a digital environment. For many, this proved to be a serious challenge. Researchers have increasingly begun to report a deepening of digital inequality. One cannot ignore the issue of students’ low motivation to pursue education. The success of communication—and consequently, the level of trust and acceptance of what the teacher conveys—also depends on the adherence to a common set of rules by all participants in the educational process. Conclusions. The problem of interaction and communication has gone beyond the scope of psychology and has acquired an interdisciplinary status. The educational community is making considerable efforts to demonstrate to the new generation of students the advantages of face-to-face communication. Addressing this issue will influence the qualitative
development of human civilization in the future.

DIGITAL NOMADS: WAY OF WORKING AND LIFESTYLE

А. Shapoval — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

Introduction. The lifestyle of digital nomads, professionals combining remote work based on information and communication
technologies, cloud technologies, high-speed Internet with travel, and exploration of different cultures and historical places, is gaining popularity worldwide. The aim of the article is to analyze the phenomenon of digital nomads, their professional activities, and their lifestyle. To present a generalized profile of a digital nomad based on sociological surveys. Research methods. To analyze the phenomenon of digital nomadism, comparative, hermeneutic, and contextual methods are employed. Axiological and sociocultural approaches made it possible to identify a typology of factors that motivate individuals to choose a nomadic lifestyle. Comparative analysis of sociological survey data enabled the formation of a generalized "portrait" of the digital nomad, explicating their core value orientations in life and work. Research results. It is shown that the phenomenon of digital nomadism emerged in the 2000s, gained popularity after the COVID-19 pandemic, when borders opened and travel opportunities resumed, and the benefits of remote work became apparent. The generalized image of a digital nomad is a representative of Generation Z or a millennial, most often male and working in IT or as an advanced digital user. This person sees the meaning of life in self-development and values the pursuit of diverse experiences, knowledge, and impressions. Discussion. Digital nomadism is becoming increasingly widespread and is receiving institutional support at both national and regional levels. A growing number of countries are amending their legislation and introducing digital nomad visas. While this requires substantial investment in infrastructure on the part of host countries, it is widely believed to have a positive impact on both the economy and the social sphere. Conclusions. Digital nomadism has become possible due to political and technological transformations. Digital nomadism implies a mobile lifestyle and remote work, fostering the development of a new identity and way of life. This phenomenon also influences social and economic processes as well as cultural interaction. For digital nomads, intangible values such as self-development, personal experience, and engagement with diverse cultural traditions are of central importance.

AXIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF IMPLEMENTING THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITALIZATION OF SOCIETY AND EDUCATION

Oleksandr Polishchuk, Olena Polishchuk — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

The modern world has undergone significant transformations that have led to numerous changes and a rethinking of human existence as a whole. In this context, education plays a crucial role, having shifted its value orientations in line with broader societal changes, as these values reflect the spirit of the era in which individuals live. Moreover, one of the key tasks of education is to prepare individuals for life in a digitalized environment within the framework of sustainable development goals. This demands new approaches to teaching and learning, as well as the cultivation of moral and ethical orientations that should accompany innovative processes. The aim and tasks. The aim of the article is to analyze the axiological dimensions of implementing the goals of sustainable development in the context of the digitalization of social being, with particular attention to the philosophy of education and relevant social and ethical theories. The tasks are to consider the basic principles of sustainable development and their axiological aspects; to investigate the role of education in the formation of values of sustainable development in the context of digital technologies; and to determine how the principles of sustainable development can be implemented in the educational process. Research methods include the methods of system analysis and synthesis, the Agile methodology, the synergistic method, forecasting, and the axiological approach. In their interaction, these methods contributed to achieving the stated objectives and fulfilling the overall aim of the study. Research results. The main principles of sustainable development and their axiological aspects were analyzed. It was established that the concept of sustainable development provides for a strategy for the development of society aimed at balancing the resolution of socio-economic issues with the preservation of the environment. This balance entails a shift in value orientations, as the technogenic nature of modern civilization has led to an ecological crisis. In response, contemporary education must foster critical thinking, a culture of responsibility, as well as adaptability and flexibility. As demonstrated by the study, education assumes a leading role in this process—not only by supporting the aforementioned competencies but also by instilling the values of sustainable development within the context of digital technologies. Discussion. It has been proven that digitalization processes have an impact on humans and society as a whole, changing them in accordance with the requirements of the environment and scientific discoveries. Sustainable development, in turn, includes not only environmental and economic aspects but also social values such as access to education, equality of opportunity, and inclusiveness. Conclusions. The conducted research provides grounds to assert that digitalization offers powerful tools for achieving the goals of sustainable development. However, without proper philosophical justification and an ethical framework, it may lead to opposite outcomes—sometimes unexpected, unpredictable, and even irreversible in their negative consequences. It is therefore essential that education, as one of the key social institutions, promotes values oriented toward harmony between humanity and nature, social justice, and the responsible use of technology. As the study demonstrates, education plays a crucial role in shaping the values of sustainable development.

CLASSICAL AND NON-CLASSICAL HISTORICISM

Serhii Sinjakov — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

The article explores historicism as a type of worldview and traces its evolution in European and domestic science from the 19th to the early 21st centuries. It investigates the socio-cultural prerequisites and philosophical foundations underlying the transformation and rethinking of the concept of historicism. The place and role of the principle of historicism in shaping the metaphysical foundations of the national idea — understood as a transcendental project reflecting the aspirations and value orientations of the people — are examined. The aim of the research is to identify the mechanisms of formation and transformation of historicism as a significant worldview paradigm in connection with the emergence of new social and information technologies in modern culture. Research methods of the study are historical-philosophical, historical-logical approaches, principles of hermeneutics, cultural-historical and comparative methods. Research results. The postmodern era has rejected classical historicism, significantly altering both conceptual interpretations of it and the methodological approaches to its application in social, historical, and media studies. These changes stem from a transformation in philosophical and historical perspectives on social processes: a revision of the linear concept of time and progress, criticism of teleology and finalist determinism, and skepticism regarding universal laws of social development. All these theoretical changes have directly influenced not only views on history but also the methodologies used to study it. Discussion. An indicative example of postmodern anti-historicism is the formation of views on the "national idea" among different peoples, cultures and civilizations. The policy of "appropriation" of the national idea by a narrow social group, its artificial administrative implantation in the mass consciousness, and the creation of ideological myths — as has repeatedly occurred in history — inevitably lead to a value collapse. There is no national idea that characterizes the nation as a whole; rather, there exist metaphysical projects that should be understood as historical objectifications of the national spirit, which simultaneously constitute its alienation. Conclusions. The development of the concept of historicism, like other cognitive instruments of scientific inquiry, has always occurred within a specific historical context. Political and cultural factors external to science have had a particularly profound impact on social and humanistic knowledge, which is deeply influenced by contemporaneity, worldview, and the values of the era. The evolution of the concept of historicism in the 19th and 20th centuries and in the first quarter of the 21st century clearly exemplifies this interconnection and remains of exceptional relevance today, serving as a vivid illustration of the close relationship between science and society.

UNIVERSAL LAW WORLD-PANORAMA AS AN IMAGE OF THE FUTURE

Julia Kharchenko, Serhii Kharchenko — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

The image of the future is presented in both broad and narrow contexts: first, as a set of events of universal significance, and second, as a sequence of occurrences within an individual life. The future is defined as a local period of time following the present moment, filled with a multitude of events that have the potential to occur. The "image of the future" is revealed as a complex construction reflecting multiple dimensions of forthcoming existence. It is confirmed that the rational-logical construction of the image of the future by means of the intellect, on the one hand, contributes to the change and expansion of the "angle of view" covering the material world-panorama. Simultaneously, the world-panorama becomes increasingly multifaceted, far-reaching, and legislatively organized. On the other hand, the unconscious, through intuition, relies on the existing eternal life constants, which in turn support the stability of the world-panorama at the level of the spirit

MODERN WORLD PICTURE IN THE DIALOGUE OF SCIENCE AND RELIGION: CONCEPTUAL IDEAS AND METHODOLOGIES

Liudmyla Shashkova — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

The subject of the connection between science and religion is a a prominent trend in contemporary philosophy of science. The prerequisites of the study are the conceptual and methodological foundations for dialogue between science and religion concerning fundamental problems of the contemporary world picture. The aim and tasks. Focusing on the analysis of the relationship between science and religion from the standpoint of the social philosophy of science, the study aims to represent a dialogical turn in the modern context. Research methods. The methodological basis of the study are the strategies and approaches of the social philosophy of science. This is an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach that allows us to build bridges between science and religion. Research results. Drawing upon interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary connections, the author regards social philosophy of science as a contemporary trend that emphasizes the interpretation of the latest scientific achievements. Analyzing historical models of interaction between science and religion as cultural phenomena, three dominant types of relationship are identified: conflict, independence, and dialogue. The article outlines the main concepts used to characterize various models of interaction between science and religion. Discussion. Conceptual ideas of theophysics, fine-tuning of the Universe, intelligent design, the multiverse, and theology of science are analyzed for their potential in shaping the foundations of the modern world picture. The scientific novelty lies in the justification of a turn to the social philosophy of science, which enables the analysis of the science–religion relationship to evolve from conflict to dialogue. Conclusions. It is demonstrated that the creative conflict and independence in the relationship between science and religion has been replaced by an alternative of dialogue. Modern science faces fundamental issues that cannot be answered only by the scientific method. They are ontological and existential issues. The use of the approach of social philosophy of science and transdisciplinary methodology is proposed. Dialogue enables every field of human knowledge and culture to develop effectively, to respond to each other's achievements. It is argued that there are tendencies to form a new integrity of the worldview based on the convergence of the scientific and religious world picture.

COMMUNICATION IN THE CONTEXT OF DETERRITORIALIZATION: BETWEEN ALIENATION AND ADAPTATION

Mariia Abysova — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

Deterritorialization, as a process of losing traditional social, economic, and political ties, transforms communication mechanisms. The aim is to identify communicative mechanisms and strategies that either facilitate social adaptation or contribute to alienation in the context of deterritorialization. The tasks are: (1) to analyze deterritorialization in socio-philosophical concepts and define its communicative dimension; (2) to examine the role of communication in processes of social adaptation and alienation. Research methods include socio-philosophical analysis, a systems approach, the dialectical method, critical discourse analysis, and the hermeneutic approach. Research results. Deterritorialization alters social communication mechanisms, simultaneously creating conditions for both the integration and isolation of individuals. The removal of territorial constraints on communication promotes networked interaction while also deepening social alienation through algorithmic filtering of information and the reinforcement of informational segregation. Discussion. Deterritorialization is not an unambiguous process: it not only disrupts traditional social ties but also creates opportunities for new forms of integration. Further research may focus on analyzing hybrid forms of social inclusion that combine adaptive mechanisms with elements of alienation. Another promising avenue is the study of compensatory adaptation strategies, where individuals adjust to digital conditions without overcoming structural inequalities but merely adapting to their logic. Conclusions. Deterritorialization in the communicative dimension simultaneously expands social interaction and contributes to the fragmentation of society, altering mechanisms of control and regulation of information flows. It is accompanied by both new formats of inclusion and an intensification of alienation through the destabilization of social identity, informational segregation, and changes in communicative practices. Alienation manifests as a rupture between individuals and their social ties, leading to cognitive overload and informational isolation. Adaptation, in contrast, is possible through the reconfiguration of identity, overcoming segregation, and developing new communicative models. Flexible identity becomes a key mechanism for adjusting to changing conditions. Thus, communication in the context of deterritorialization serves a dual function: open and dialogical models foster integration, while algorithmic personalization reinforces social alienation, limiting the communicative possibilities of the subject.

PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE THEORY OF POLITICAL COMMUNICATION

Serhii Ordenov — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

Politics, in its broadest sense, represents a set of social practices and discourses related to the exercise of power, through which forms and methods of governing society, social groups, and their relations are implemented. The aim and tasks are to carry out a philosophical reception of the theoretical foundations of political communication. Research methods include dialectical, historical, and comparative approaches combined with philosophical principles of objectivity and systemacity, as well as general scientific principles of correspondence and relativity. Research results. The philosophical conceptualization of political communication sets the focus of scholarly inquiry, shaping the optics of philosophical reflection and serving as a fundamental criterion that structures the construction of various theoretical frameworks, models, and approaches to explaining this phenomenon. Discussion. In the course of developing various philosophical schools, concepts, and views on communication, the philosophical understanding of the phenomenon of communication is generalized, taking into account the theoretical and methodological contributions of hermeneutics, phenomenology, analytic and pragmatic philosophy, among others. Conclusions. The conceptualization of political communication has taken place in close interaction between philosophical and empirical scientific knowledge, implying their mutual correlation, which can be described as interpenetration and reciprocal influence.

THE PHENOMENON OF DIGITAL NOMADISM IN GLOBAL MIGRATION PROCESSES: COMMUNICATION DIMENSION

Tetiana Poda — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

In the modern world, digital technologies are changing the forms of employment, social interaction and mobility of the population. The aim is to identify the characteristics of digital nomads’ communication strategies in the processes of their professional integration, social adaptation, maintenance of cultural identity, and interaction with state institutions amid global migration changes. The tasks are 1) to identify the characteristics of the socio-cultural environment of digital nomadism in the context of globalization; 2) to explore the impact of digital nomadism on the formation of new types of social communities; 3) to outline the challenges of digital nomadism for nation-states, particularly its impact on labor markets and migration policies. Research methodology is based on poststructuralist and postmodernist mobility concepts, Deleuze and Guattari’s nomadology, Urry’s mobility paradigm, as well as the theories of Bauman, Baudrillard, and McLuhan. Research results. It is found that digital nomads form extensive professional and social networks, maintain communication through digital platforms and develop new forms of social interaction. Two groups of communication strategies have been identified: professional and labour (focused on digital platforms and work coordination) and socio-cultural (related to maintaining social ties, language adaptation and integration into digital diasporas). Discussion. Digital nomadism requires further reflection in the context of the digital economy, legal challenges and regulatory policy. Conclusions. Digital nomadism is not just a new form of mobility, but a phenomenon that is transforming social relations, economic activity and communication practices. Digital nomads form extensive communication networks that facilitate their integration into global labour markets, while at the same time facing challenges of legal status, social protection and regulation by nation-states. Their communication strategies operate on two levels: professional-labor, involving freelance platforms and remote work coordination, and socio-cultural, centered on digital diasporas that support cultural identity and adaptation in an unstable environment..

INTERCULTURAL INTERACTION IN THE CONTEXT OF RELIGIOUS COMMUNICATION: A SOCIO-PHILOSOPHICAL ASPECT

Olena Sidorkina — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

Over the past decade, intensified global migration has created pressing economic, political, cultural, and psychological challenges. As both a product and driver of globalization, migration fosters sustained contact between diverse cultural traditions, reshaping intercultural interaction. Religious communication, as a marker of civilizational identity, plays a key role in this process. Addressing its consequences requires socio-philosophical reflection to develop communication-based approaches to mitigating negative effects. The aim of this article is to study the peculiarities of intercultural interaction in the context of religious communication in the face of socio-cultural challenges in today's information society. Research methods. The study is based on the core principles of the dialectical approach, socio-cultural determinism, systems theory, communicative philosophy, and the axiological foundations of communicative interaction, as well as elements of phenomenology. The generalisations presented also draw on philosophical research into communicative discourse in contemporary society. Research results. One of the socio-philosophical aspects of the religious and communicative component of intercultural interaction is the analysis of how culturally significant centres and zones of social contact are shifting from historically established territorial spaces to the virtual realm of information networks under the influence of information and communication globalisation— a process that dialectically leads to transformations in the real territorial space of intercultural interaction, often taking the form of cultural intrusions or invasions. Discussion. In today’s information society, the internationalisation of cultural and economic relations fosters both secularising and unifying tendencies, alongside a revival of traditionalism in the form of demonstrative religiosity. Despite the rise of rationalism and pragmatism, the religious dimension of communication persists, often intertwining with rationality and taking on new, sometimes politicised forms. To overcome negative trends in intercultural interaction, the globalisation model is increasingly giving way to dialogue as a modern form of internationalisation. Conclusions. Intercultural interaction in the context of religious communication in the information society reflects the dichotomy between the global (cosmopolitan) and the local (national, traditional), expressed in conflicting processes of adaptation and enclavisation, dialogue and confrontation. The religious and communicative dimension manifests in the shift of cultural interaction centres from traditional territorial spaces to virtual information networks, which also influences real territorial interaction. To counter negative trends, a shift towards dialogue is essential as a modern form of internationalising social and communicative relations

THE SPECIFICITY OF THE VALUES OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE

Ivan Skyba — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

The article addresses the relevant issue of the specificity of the values of scientific knowledge. Two main values are considered: cognitive and instrumental. Their direct proportional interrelation and mutual conditioning are demonstrated. The significance of these values is determined by the regulative function of science, which may be directed either toward adaptation to the environment or its transformation. The aim of the article is to explore the characteristics of the values inherent in scientific knowledge. Research methods. Systematic, cultural-historical and sociocultural methodological approaches are used in their dialectical interconnection. Research results. In Antiquity, the cognitive value prevailed – science was pursued for the sake of truth, while its usefulness was viewed as secondary. During the Modern era, the instrumental value of knowledge gained prominence, especially in the works of Francis Bacon, who argued for the unity of truth and benefit. In contemporary post-nonclassical science, the dialectical interrelation between cognitive and instrumental values is recognized, alongside the increasing demand for scientists’ ethical responsibility. Discussion. Fundamental and applied research is analyzed in terms of its orientation toward the generation and implementation of the cognitive and instrumental values of scientific knowledge. Conclusions. Viewing scientific knowledge through the prism of its dual value allows for a renewed, holistic understanding of the problem of science. It is essential not to reduce it merely to usefulness but to also acknowledge the cognitive value of scientific knowledge and their dialectical interrelation. The emergence of post-nonclassical rationality in science and the growing emphasis on the moral responsibility of scientists in contemporary society to a certain extent determine the specificity of the growth and practical implementation of the cognitive and instrumental values of scientific knowledge.

THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL DIMENSION OF VIRTUAL REALITY

Oksana Skyba — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

Today, the widespread use of information and communication technologies gives rise to virtual reality, which acquires a new ontological and anthropological status. The aim of the article is an attempt at philosophical reflection on the anthropological dimension of virtual reality in the context of the correlation between the virtual and the real. Research methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of this work is a system of scientific research methods and principles: analysis and synthesis, abstraction, as well as the method of the unity of the historical and the logical, which make it possible to explore the mechanism of interaction between the real world and virtual reality, society and virtual reality. Research results. Throughout the 19th–20th centuries, the idea of "virtual reality" continued to develop as the idea of a certain special, intermediate state. In various fields of knowledge, these states differed across different objects—for example, in physics, it referred to a special state of micro-objects; in psychology, to a special state of subjectivity (including dreams, fantasies, altered states of consciousness, the reality of computer games, etc.); and in computing, to a specific mode of computer operation. Thus, it is precisely the ambiguity of the concept that has led to its wide application—from Niels Bohr’s "virtual particles" and his complementarity principle to the world of "virtual reality" created by information technologies. The concept of virtual reality acquires an entirely new meaning with the advent of computers and the development of the Internet. Discussion. In virtual reality, vast and ever-changing flows of information determine its nature. Immersed through immersive technologies and complex feedback systems, individuals experience the dissolution of spatial and temporal boundaries, the erosion of cultural differences, and the emergence of new values, behaviors, language, and worldview patterns. This expansion of human living space in the information age signals a new mode of existence for both individuals and society. Meeting this challenge and fostering harmonious development requires cultivating intellectual abilities and value orientations rooted in traditional ethics. Conclusions. Virtual reality allows man to overcome the boundaries of space and time, provoking the creation of new value orientations, new models of behavior, and worldview stereotypes. The virtualization of part of a person's living space creates a new way of life for both the individual and society, expands human capabilities, and becomes the foundation for a new type of culture..

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF EDUCATION: THE FATE OF PHILOSOPHY AS A DISCIPLINE OF THE HUMANITIES CYCLE

Nadiia Sukhova — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

Higher education in the 21st century is undergoing a complex digital transformation, adapting to the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. In Ukraine, consumerist ideology has redefined students as service recipients and teachers as providers, turning universities into non-commercial enterprises. As economic values eclipse ethical and cultural ones, education risks losing its humanistic mission. The marginalization of the humanities—especially philosophy—in technical curricula is especially concerning. As AI reshapes human consciousness, the erosion of critical thinking threatens the future. The aim of this study is to identify the key features of the digital transformation of education and to examine the role and fate of philosophy as a humanities discipline in the network society. Research methods combine general scientific and philosophical approaches to analyze shifts in consciousness, education, and ways of living. The comparative method helps contrast scholars’ forecasts on solving urgent challenges in education and related fields. Research results. The 21st century has brought profound transformations across all areas of human life. Digitalization, as a core feature of innovation, is reshaping reality by merging the physical and virtual into a cyber-physical space. Human activity increasingly shifts online, changing consciousness, behavior, and communication. Education, particularly in Ukraine, reflects these shifts: students are viewed as service recipients, while universities function under market logic. This leads to the commodification of education and marginalization of the humanities, especially philosophy. At the same time, digital tools demand new competencies from educators and reshape teaching practices. Philosophy gains renewed relevance in addressing ethical, existential, and cognitive challenges posed by the digital world. Issues like internet dependence, loss of autonomy, and the erosion of human connection reveal the urgent need for critical thinking and moral reflection. Therefore, reinforcing philosophy in education is essential to help society navigate the digital transition responsibly, preserving human dignity, creativity, and the capacity for ethical choice. Discussion. The digital age imposes a worldview shift that may activate a "self-destruction mechanism" of humanity as a biological species. As robotization expands into education and healthcare, humans risk becoming dependent on pre-programmed responses, losing intuition and the ability to take responsibility. This creates a kind of “Human Design” – a digitally shaped personality optimized to conform to virtual norms rather than question them. To avoid this trajectory, we must return to history and philosophy, which provide diverse approaches to crises and human-environment relations. Without ethical reflection, society risks losing critical thinking, moral autonomy, and even historical memory. Conclusions. The digital transformation of education, while advancing control and material efficiency, fails to foster the spiritual growth of the individual. As AI gains power, there is a risk of diminishing human volition and detachment from physical reality. This raises concerns about the preservation of core values such as will, love, and freedom. To prevent dehumanizing outcomes, the education system must strengthen its focus on the humanities. Excluding philosophy could accelerate dystopian trends, while cultivating critical thinking and emotional intelligence remains key to a balanced digital future

METAPHYSICAL THINKING: THE RELEVANCE OF THE PROBLEM

Tetiana Sukhodub — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

The article examines the characteristics of metaphysical thinking in the context of its comparison with post-metaphysical approaches in contemporary philosophy. The aim of the study is to analyze the characteristics and interrelation of metaphysics and post-metaphysics as essential directions of universal philosophical thinking. Research methodology includes a scientific and systemic approach, cognitive premises of the hermeneutics of being, which interprets understanding as the meaning of human experience, and the historical method. Research results. Post-metaphysical thinking, as a prevalent concept in contemporary philosophical discourse, does not replace metaphysics but rather expands its subject matter and the boundaries of metaphysical thinking. The posing of questions regarding the ultimate “beginnings” of being characterizes contemporary philosophy of science and thereby actualizes metaphysical thinking at a new stage of cognition. Discussion. An analysis of the works of M. Dummett, E. Coreth, M. Lax, M. Margaroni, L. Oblova, S. Sinyakov, J. Habermas, M. Heidegger, Yu. Kharchenko, and others made it possible to reveal key aspects of the formation of metaphysical thinking in the history of philosophy, and to distinguish the problems of ontology and metaphysics, as well as metaphysics and post-metaphysics. Conclusions. Metaphysical thinking is a person’s reflection on the knowledge of being achieved in a particular era. The focus of metaphysics on universality and thinking about the world as a whole, presupposes a categorical understanding and clarification of the logical and socio-cultural content of the categories "universal," "whole," "existent," "substance," "matter," "consciousness," "being,” “meaning,” and others. In contemporary scientific discourse-philosophical, socio-humanitarian, and natural sciences – the culture of metaphysical thinking serves as a “mediated subject” in the scientific search for the universal foundations of human existence.

Keywords: being, ontology, metaphysics, post-metaphysics, philosophical thinking, categories, understanding

TRANSFORMATION OF COMMUNICATION CULTURE AND INTERACTION IN HEALTHCARE

Victoriia Tabakovych-Vatseba — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

The widespread use of information and communication technologies significantly influences the culture of communication across various spheres of life, including healthcare. This actualises the philosophical understanding of transformations in the culture of communication and interaction. The aim of the study is to provide a philosophical analysis of the causes behind the transformation of the culture of communication and interaction in the context of contemporary challenges of the twenty-first century—particularly informatization and globalization – as manifested in the healthcare sector. Research methods. To achieve the aim, the study employs cultural-historical and socio-cultural methodological approaches, the principles of systematicity and complementarity, methods of logical and cultural-semantic analysis, along with other general scientific research methods. Research results. It is proved, that digitalization of the healthcare sector has both positive consequences—when citizens' access to necessary information increases—and negative consequences—when communication between a doctor and a patient is disrupted due to the uncritical attitude of patients toward unverified information received from modern media sources. Discussion. Significant changes in modern healthcare interactions are also influenced by globalization processes. The Internet, as a driver of globalization, virtualizes healthcare communication, while international medical organizations—such as the World Health Organization, the World Medical Association, and the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences—play an increasingly prominent role. Conclusions. It is substantiated that modern technologies cross national and regional borders, contributing to the unification of the language of communication both at the international level and within national countries. This has a significant impact on the transformation of the norms of communication and interaction culture in the healthcare sector on a global scale

METAPHYSICS OF THE INFOSPHERE AND ETHICAL CHALLENGES OF GENERATIVE AI: A NEW ETHICAL LANDSCAPE

Tetiana Shorina — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

The technologies of the Third and Fourth Industrial Revolutions not only reshape the material landscape of society but are also increasingly acknowledged as key agents in constructing a new social model. However, the significant challenges accompanying the global information society-namely, access to information for all and the future freedom of expression of opinion-reveal the culturally constrained and socially alienated character of this emerging model. The aim and tasks. The aim is to analyze the metaphysics of the infosphere and identify ethical challenges associated with generative artificial intelligence (AI). The tasks include: defining the infosphere as a new ontological reality, drawing on the philosophical work of Luciano Floridi; outlining its connection to the technological developments of Industry 4.0, with reference to Klaus Schwab’s analysis; examining the main ethical challenges posed by generative AI, as well as the ethical standards proposed for its regulation; and synthesizing philosophical and humanistic ideals-particularly those presented in UNESCO documents – in order to evaluate the limitations of the current information society paradigm. Research methods. The study applies the conceptual principles of social philosophy, philosophy of culture, and information ethics, alongside general scientific principles such as historicism and systematics, and logical methods of substantiation and argumentation. The comparative method, discursive analysis, and an interdisciplinary approach are also employed. Research results. The current information society paradigm, when examined through the lens of philosophical and humanistic ideals - as highlighted in UNESCO materials - reveals significant cultural and ethical limitations. These findings indicate that generative AI and digital transformation are not merely technological advancements; rather, they represent a profound shift in the construction and experience of reality. Discussion. The emphasis on humanistic values calls for a reorientation from a model solely focused on data and automation towards "knowledge societies", where information is transformed into meaningful insights through education, cultural exchange, and ethical reflection. This transition is essential to ensure that technological progress is not detached from the core human values that sustain societal well-being, fostering a more inclusive and critically engaged digital future. Conclusions. Rethinking reality in information terms requires the creation of a new metaphysics that is designed to comprehend the nature of data, knowledge, and the moral principles of managing the digital environment. In particular, its task is to find a balance between a new type of computer autonomy and human autonomy. In its prognosis, the philosophy of information should avoid two extremes: apocalyptic predictions and utopian views on social and environmental well-being. Although there are many serious challenges related to the use of generative AI, it conceals the potential for building a more just and sustainable world. The developed ethical norms, focused on transparency, responsibility, and justice, resonate with the paradigm of “knowledge societies” and align with the humanistic values promoted by UNESCO.
