INCLUSION AS A VALUE CORE OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF HUMANISM

Sociocultural transformations that affect today all layers of human existence exacerbate the problem of including the Other into the social life. Inclusion — a new phenomenon of culture — appears as a response to the intolerant attitude of a person to another person. The need for cultural philosophical reflection on inclusion predetermines the relevance of this work. Inclusive practices, whose common understanding draws attention to the destructive nature of social interaction of the society and the indivi­dual with disabilities, require a revision of their sense-forming coordinates.

The renewed understanding of inclusion as the nucleus of the philosophy of humanism expands the scope of the view that technologies the society uses for satis­fying special sociocultural and educational needs should be addressed to people with disabilities, shifting the emphasis towards recognizing the “singularity” / uniqueness of each individual for the further development of human civilization. The author’s approach, giving everyone unlimited opportunities for self-fulfillment, immerses a person into the amazing mystery of creativity, striving to create the joy of co-existence. Emphasis is placed on the understan­ding that creativity is a process of social interaction, where deprivation of the supremacy of the competition and effectiveness paradigms prevailing in the modern society contributes to overcoming the negative practices of self-awareness / accepting the Other as a carrier of abnormality, as well as to affirming the importance of the individual’s “singularity”/ uniqueness for the social well-being of people and society. The presented approach to inclusion, accumula­ting the conceptual ideas of the philosophy of humanism, allows a person to discover a unique beginning in themselves, which promotes both the socialization of the personality and the acquisition of new reasons for existence. Appealing to the latest research in the field of neurobiology proving the social nature of man is dicta­ted by the insufficient attention of the modern society to education of a socially responsible person. The social fullness of a person’s life, leading to the assertion of one’s own unique nature by including in the process of co-creation, contributing to the overcoming of the life meaning search crisis, harmonizes the vital activity of all social institutions, including those in the scale of humanity.
