Anthropological orientation of contemporary education. In the article from the social-anthropological point of view characteristic features of education as a social phenomenon are revealed

The author characterizes the crisis of modern education as a crisis of objective reality. Reasoning from the principles of postnonclassical science, the author proves the possibility of existence, interaction and partly synthesis of basic anthropological approaches (objective and subjective) to education and presupposes evolutionary changing of educational paradigms instead of revolutionary one. There can be found a forecasting model of contemporary education based upon united social-anthropological space. The model reflects the process of socialization of a person as an integral bio-psycho-sociocultural-spiritual phenomenon.
