Abstract
Introduction. In contemporary discourse such artifacts as the “human factor”, “human potential”, and «human capital» serve as an inexhaustible resource for the society and individuals cultural development. While industrial society was characterized by viewing humans as «capital», which formed the basis of the anthropological approach, post-industrial society requires a revision of this paradigm. Consequently, the theory of humanitarianism is emerging, where the humanities component is “autonomized” and, in its methodological formulation, is interpreted as a humanitarian approach to human capital. Methodology. The study methodological basis is the work of domestic and foreign scientists, representatives of philosophical, social and pedagogical sciences. Anthropological and humanitarian approaches in their socio-philosophical discourse were chosen as the main approaches to their analysis. Discussion. A rethinking of the humanities component of human capital is driven by overcoming the anthropological deficit in higher education (abandoning the static understanding of education as a factor of capitalization; developing the education content and structure aimed at human development; dynamically changing information environment). This approach will not only enhance the social and personal significance of education but also becomes a task for a new justification, understanding, and development of modern human capital, providing guidelines for its implementation in educational practice. Conclusion. In the digital age, education is transforming from a system of imparting highly specialized knowledge into a driver of the humanities component developing of human capital, integrating technological literacy with cultural, spiritual, and ethical values. Harmonious integration of people and digital technologies requires establishing a conscious connection based on a deep understanding of both human and digital nature. It is precisely humanistic values and the distinctive meanings of national culture that can serve as a counterweight to the pragmatic, often superficial, approach inherent in purely technical knowledge.
