THE CONCEPT OF CULTURE IN THE SYSTEM OF PHILOSOPHICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL DISCOURSE

Abstract

The study of the phenomenon of culture is one of the priority tasks of modern philosophy. Unfortunately, a common point of view on the definition has not yet been reached. This may not be necessary. After all, a host of definitions can determine the nature of culture from different angles, to embrace it as a whole. And yet, it is necessary to dwell on some definition in order to go further. Let's review the philosophical discourse on this subject. The author uses a multidimensional approach based on the achievements of predecessor scientists. After the tragic social events of the twentieth century in the philosophical discourse intensified the tendency to criticize the humanistic power of culture, its ability to ensure stable development of mankind. The philosophical discourse on the concept of "culture" becomes especially relevant in the modern postmodern era, when classical ideas about cultural tastes, classical schemes of perception of reality and its interpretation change to non-classical ones. In modern conditions of a clear civilizational crisis of mankind and a variety of contradictions to overcome them, it is necessary to use all the possibilities of culture.
