Humanization of education in the fate of mankind: a failure or a gift of the 20th century?

The article analyzes the historical development of mankind, which, in our opinion, is a struggle between two principles - humanistic and technocratic, which originated in the Axial Age and continues to this day... In the 20th century, the opposition between them was removed through the dialectical unity of external and internal; humanistic and technological. In the age we live in A. P. Nazaretyan resolved this contradiction by finding a relationship between them, and expressed it in the law of technical and humanitarian balance. Based on the corresponding model and the regulators introduced, he analyzes megatrends and mechanisms of evolution, projects a nonlinear future of mankind, striving for a balance between humanistic culture and human biological nature. We use A. P. Nazaretyan’s model for the explication of humanistic education as a model of developmental education of the 20th century, as a great gift of outstanding Soviet, Russian scientists. We consider that its introduction into the mass educational practice of modern education is inevitable.
