Theory of Music Education: Post-Non-Classical Stage

The article examines the importance of considering a person as the main subject of educational processes and the process of personality formation through a valuable approach to the surrounding world, oneself and others. The author claims that human knowledge, unlike natural sciences, is subjective, individual and filled with existential meanings and values. However, the current education system is often incompatible with the culture and does not contribute to the formation of a "worldview". The article emphasizes the ideological contradiction between the technocratic (scientific) paradigm of education and the idea of education as a humanistic and cultural phenomenon. The sphere of education reacts most sensitively to crisis processes of both a global and local nature, and reveals its own signs of a crisis that was formed as a result of the gap between the technocratic, scientific world and the world of culture, the world of humanitarianism itself. It is substantiated that progressive trends in the development of the world community caused the formation of a human-centered educational paradigm of the new post-industrial society. This direction fully corresponds to the paradigm of both global and national dimensions of social progress, which is normatively established in many international documents and legal acts of the UN, EU, UNESCO, etc. It was found out that it is generally recognized in the scientific discourse that there is currently a transition of humanity from one system of values that was established in the European culture of the New Age, which raised the status of scientific and technical achievements of humanity to a higher pedestal of knowledge, rejecting at the same time value consciousness at the gates of culture, to a new system of values that is commensurate with man, his humanitarian nature and human existence. This is connected with the establishment of the value system of post-non-classical science and culture, so the task is to understand the value matrix of post-non-classical culture, singling out those values that are commensurate with the humanitarian essence of a person.
