Abstract

In the article, a system-philosophical analysis of the transforming societies is performed and the corresponding changes in the education system are uncovered; the problem of the society transformation in the XXI century is formulated. The authors investigate the transformations in modern Russian education, which concern deep foundations of the socio-cultural existence of the society.
It is substantiated in the article that there are two levels of transformations: a superficial one (social phenomena) and a deep one (intrinsic), and there also exist the external and internal reasons of social transformations. A special attention is paid to global factors, because the major part of the transformations are of the Western-globalist type, and the Western world exerts the decisive influence on the entire world community due to scientific and technical process, accompanying by both egocentrism and rationalism. Other countries of the world are designated as endemic, and on them the Western globalism exerts influences of various kinds: stimulating, deforming, suppressing, fostering development and so forth.
