Abstract

The purpose of the article is to describe the cultural-historical bases of continuous education as the conditions of formation of the person who is adequate to social requests and expectations. There are analyzed the best known and influential historic-philosophical sources, thanks to which it is possible to claim that the idea of continuous education was born in antiquity and even earlier. A step-by-step structure of education directed to perfection of person's culture is described. The interaction of culture and education is most brightly manifested in the education of the Byzantine citizen. Special attention is paid to the subjective basis of continuous education as self-determination. Presently, in the conditions of cultural-philosophical pluralism, turning to the origins of continuous education is connected with comprehension of the subject potential of the person in educational space as ontological and pedagogical reality.
