Keywords: education; civil society; the purposes of education; uncertainty; self-organization
Pages: 95-101

Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to study effective ways of interaction between educational system and developing civil society in modern Russia. It is postulated that uncertainty of the future is a factor substantially determining the principles of formation of new mechanisms of social interactions. It is indicated that uncertainty is not necessarily a negative factor; it can positively affect the development of culture. In this context, realization of social inquiries is a purpose of educational process. But this purpose is considered not in a strictly pragmatic sense, but, first of all, through the prism of the possible culture-formation prospects of the social organism.
