ABSTRACT. The modern world bears the stamp of the loss of aesthetic ideals that allowed us to perceive the world holistically from the standpoint of goodness and beauty. The search by pedagogical science for a way out of this situation has led to an increased emphasis on the cultural, communicative and subjective content of education, which allows transforming it into a personality-oriented process, which is understood as the disclosure of the original essence of a person, i.e. the possibilities inherent in it initially.
