Abstract

The paper considers globalism as viewed from ontological theory and its social manifestations primarily in respect of the aspect of “a person in a situation of globalism”. The latter can be described in sociological or psychological terms, but in the work this aspect is understood in the socio-philosophical sense, that is, when it undergoes an analysis of the transformation of a person as a cultural-historical type.

It is noted that in “globalism” we can distinguish at least two qualities, internal and external, - one, internal, related to the political and economic (social) content of this concept, that is, with the essence of globalism, the other, external, expresses a set of phenomena and processes of external, “visible”, measured, presented in the forms of economic and social activity, mediated by the introduction of high technologies, means of communication, etc. The internal (socio-economic) basis of modern globalism is made up, therefore, is predetermined and mediated by other, subordinate, its aspects, the capitalist mode of production and the imperialistic nature of the claims of capitalism. A person loses the “former entirety of his nature”, becomes a function of a thing, an element in the functional interaction of things, from whom it is required to develop one of his side natures (employee), his needs (at other people’s expense) to hypertrophied dimensions. It is shown how this is manifested in the field of education reform.

The conclusion is drawn: the cultivation of the supersubstantial spiritual wealth of the masses is not the goal of any of the areas of immaterial activity in the era of globalism.
