The article, using the example of a seminar lesson in philosophy (section “Epistemology”), demonstrates the use of a methodology for teaching humanities in a modern technical university, tested at the Ural State University of Transport — a methodology that corresponds to the sociocultural realities of the information society, organically integrating key (onto)psychological features “digital generation”. The reasons for the limitations of the use of traditional methods in teaching humanities in technical universities to representatives of generation Z are outlined, as well as ways to solve this issue, reflecting, among other things, the problem of the “generation gap” fixed in the educational space, the socialization of which is divided into “before” and “after” the emergence of the realities of the information society.
