Abstract
The article is dedicated to the philosophical substantiation of the special status of education in the modern changing society. Pedagogical theory declares as its goal the formation of creative and harmonic personality. However, the education policy aims more and more at transforming the education into "the market of education services". The first purpose reflects the "postmodern" epoch, which uses all the experience of the past, present, and "future". The second purpose reflects the epoch of the "modernist style": that is, the past of our education. This contradiction is to be solved by the education itself. However, it will only be possible if education is considered not only as a social institute but as a special sphere of social reality.
