Introduction. The paper reveals the author's approach to the relationship of value and meaning in the formation of personality as the choice of fate and participation of the subject. The author sees the relevance of the issue in the idea of the need to the formation of a man of culture or person, ready for an open dialogue in the mosaic culture, capable of participation in the culture process. Value is analyzed as a position to the fate in the subjective choice. The philosophy of an act includes the realization of the significance of value as the meaning of participation in the creation of reality. The conjugation of value with the meaning of an act carries out the existence of the individual as an opportunity in the joint existence. The content of choice determines the existence of person as a subject of being, the ontology of his existence as reality in participation. Methodology and methods of the research. The philosophy of M. M. Bakhtin describing the act as the logic of existence is used in the value-semantic choice. The moment of existential manifestation is analyzed based on the view of M. Heidegger about the importance of presence in the formation of existence. The author also relies on the positions of V. S. Bibler, O. I. Genisaretsky, A. V. Konev in the analysis of the social and cultural space. The author also takes into account the philosophy of postmodernism in the assessing reality as a situation of existential choice, in particular, the philosophy of J. Deleuze on the simultaneity of the processes of folding and unfolding in formation. The choice is seen as a way from Nothing to Something, as a Break of continuity, as a transition that requires creative solution. The study methods are: the analysis of works on philosophy, cultural studies of man’s formation, the ascent from the abstract to the concrete, induction, abstraction. The method of analysis relies on the possibility of a speculative method in combination with an extrapolation of results into sociality. The results of the research. The necessity of understanding the meaning is shown through the contextual significance of value in choosing the position of oneself as a subject of participation in culture. The reciprocity is proved of the transformation of cultural reality in the value decision and the assertion of the meaning of a particular person in reality as a reality for himself and others, indicating realization and events. Conclusion. The author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to realize meaning through the contextual awareness of the value in the choice of the position of oneself as a subject in the possibility of genuine socially valuable participation in culture. Pedagogy is the recognition of the role of a single value-semantic approach in the development of the subject of culture.
