Abstract

In the article, the changes in culture, education and science that have been occurring since the 1960s are considered, which are accompanied by a change of epistemological style of thinking. The previous style, described as the operational one, was distinguished by larger clarity, intuitive comprehensibility and included active actions. It was replaced by a more formal and abstract mathematical style. The reasons behind the change of the style in science are discussed. It is shown that the development of mass culture is directed toward primitivization. Education finds itself confined between two opposing tendencies, which cause problems in the school education.
