The main theme of the article is the philosophical and methodological analysis of the issue of personality formation in the homes for orphaned children and determination of the problems and methods of social education. The article shows that one of the key problems of the upbringing system within the homes for orphaned children is the upbringing of the socially active individual possessing spiritual, intellectual and physical potential, as is necessary for the fully-fledged member of society. The principal way of resolving these issues and problems is philosophical understanding and practical mastery of the legacy of the Russian philosophical pedagogical thought, whose representatives proposed the methods of social upbringing based on the holistic world outlook adequate to the historical epoch.
