Abstract

We analyze the methodological function of philosophy of education in studying education as a factor of the societys adaptation to globalization. It is substantiated that the most important for the successful analysis of education as a factor in the consideration of the globalization process is the choice of methodology which determines the initial philosophical position, strategic objectives, hierarchy of values and general principles of research. It is shown that, by using a special categorical system and the dialectical method, it is possible to widely cover, theoretically comprehend and summarize in a holistic concept the available data about the impact of globalization on education and society.
