Introduction. The discussion of the features of prosociality as a social attribute and the result of prosocial education, its definition and essential characteristics requires clarification of sociality as a result of education in comparison with prosociality, asociality and dissociality, where the social phenomenon of prosociality is formed through prosocial education. The purpose of this article is to study the socio-philosophical category “prosocial educationˮ. Methodology. The study used a categorical-system methodology and its methods: the categorical pendulum method and formal-logical overview information to analyze the categories accompanying prosocial impact. Discussion: the American way of life and its influence on the new generation of Russia, which allows us to build the structure of the categorical series of prosociality based on the method of the categorical pendulum; structural categories are defined “societyˮ, “social realityˮ, “lifestyleˮ, “exchangeˮ, “dependenceˮ, “connectionˮ, “freedom from social valuesˮ, “isolationˮ, “alien cultureˮ, “transformation of national identityˮ, “formation of social deformations“, “violation of moralityˮ etc. Conclusion. The use of the formal-logical method made it possible to define “prosocial educationˮ as an activity carried out in society and aimed at reproducing a person, changing his national identity, assimilating values and lifestyle of another (alien) society. In the current situation of social development, prosocial education has already taken a stable position, which is due to significant changes in personal characteristics towards a hostile attitude towards the Russian social order. The extrapolation of alien values, views and lifestyles to the younger generation increases the gap between different generations of people, and, ultimately, can lead to a split in Russian society.
