Social development as an element of personal security: the dialectics of socialization and individualization

The subject of the research is the state of the complexof relations of the security of society and individual in the period of the current paradigm transition. The goal is to analyse the dialectics of the processes of socialization and individualization in these conditions. It is shown, in particular, now humankind has created a set of prerequisites that can serve not only the cardinal rise of creative genius and living conditions, but also a rollback to neo-anarchic - up to mutual destruction with environmental damage (sometimes irreparable). Conveying socially significant innovations, the role of knowledge now tends to increase so much that sometimes the emerging society is described as a knowledge society. On the one hand, the movement towards the formation of a knowledge society in the first place could not fail to strengthen the objective grounds for the demand for those employed in intellectual (particularly, in the spiritual) industry. On the other hand, the provision of historical subjectness and independence are inherently related to the priority of the development and realization of the scientific and intellectual potential. The one and the other are shifting the correlation of socialization and individualization from the standards of mass production with the levelling of differences to the social interest in the development and about the pro-social realization of the unique, individual combination of giftedness. Accordingly, it is necessary a drift of incentives and management methods.
