Introduction. The cognition of society and the most complex social transformations in the era of globalization requires the use of an adequate theoretical and methodological basis, an appropriate conceptual apparatus, with which it is possible to understand the specifics of social processes at the beginning of the 21st century. Methodology and methods of the research. A system-synergetic approach to the cognition of a globalizing society is used as the main one. The necessity of its use in philosophical education, for the training of modern socio-humanitarian specialists, theorists and practitioners, is substantiated. The results of the research. The content of the system-synergetic approach, the methods of modern socio-philosophical cognition associated with it are revealed. An important role of the results of scientific and philosophical cognition of a globalizing society based on systemic synergetic patterns is shown. The results of such studies in socio-philosophical education are of vital importance, since modern humanities specialists must be able, in theory and in practice, to solve a number of complex problems of society emerging from crisis conditions, to determine ways to stabilize social life at different levels of the organization - from individual areas of life of the country to the solution of the most important national tasks, international and global problems of preserving the sociosphere. The author’s results on the specifics of understanding order and chaos in the era of globalization are presented. Different types of order in society are distinguished: a balanced stable order and disharmonious unstable social order, as well as their varieties. The duality of the types of social chaos is shown: organizational-creating and deformation-destructive, their varieties are also revealed. Possible forms of relations of different types of order and chaos in society are determined. The specificity of the manifestation of systemic synergistic patterns at different levels of the organization of society (supranational, state and domestic) is investigated. The significance of the socio-philosophical analysis of systemic-cyclical, synergetic and hierarchical interactions with the help of a triad of the categories «order - disorder - chaos» at different levels of sociosphere organization in the context of globalization is substantiated. Conclusion. Using a system-synergetic approach in socio-philosophical cognition and education will allow future professionals to better understand the complex social transformations of society in the era of globalization.
