Temporal-Axiological Model for the Formation of Life-Sense Strategies among Youth in the Context of Social Transformations

The article presents the author’s temporal and value model, which aims to identify the specifics of the formation of life strategies among modern youth and is used as a tool for socio-philosophical analysis of the transformation processes in modern society. The model is an abstract-theoretical construct that integrates the value and temporal dimensions of life strategies into a single analytical framework that promotes a deeper understanding of the relationships between the specific nature of social time, the dominant value clusters, and the specific life projects of young people, which allows for a socio-philosophical prediction of possible scenarios for the development of society as a whole. The study found that the key pattern is the transition from linear life planning to reflexive-adaptive planning. This shift is due to the compression of the time horizon and the dominance of “presentism”, which makes long-term strategies.
