Humanities in the economy of the future

One of the key tasks of higher education is to create the necessary conditions for the formation of an educated, creatively wealthy, with an active citizenship, a person who is ready to create in his professional activity and in the surrounding social reality. In the development of the student’s personality, special attention is paid to the humanitarian component. This applies both to a part of the taught disciplines and to the guidelines for socio-cultural and educational work. Education in general, its humanitarian component in particular, includes all means, tools and methods that are focused on changing people’s behavior, either by expanding knowledge or by transforming attitudes towards them. A high level of knowledge has a positive effect on productivity, innovation, democratization and social cohesion, and also determines the quality of life. Moreover, in a globalized world, the sphere of application of knowledge for people with a predominance of skills and knowledge of the humanities - “symbolic and analytical services” remains. Specialists with deep knowledge in the humanities cycle of disciplines, with the skills formed as a result of their study, show abilities in all types of analysis and synthesis, inductive, deductive and abductive thinking with the ability to produce new ideas on their own, without the support of artificial intelligence.
