Общество XXI века, как известно, – общество, не лишенное проблем. И во многом эти проблемы связаны с тем уровнем развития, которого оно достигло. Растущие технические возможности человека порождают у него стремление контролировать свою жизнь, сформировать безопасную среду жизнедеятельности с гарантированным будущим, и эти же возможности порождают новые опасности, не существовавшие ранее. В результате мы оказываемся в новом типе общества, сформированном сознанием, ориентированным на выявление рисковых ситуаций – «обществе риска».

The reader is presented with the manifesto of the phenomenological substantialism of the Nizhny Novgorod philosopher V. A. Kutyrev, published in the form of his new monograph.

Kutyrev Vladimir Aleksandrovich is known as a social philosopher, a leftist conservative, a supporter of controlled progress. His papers and books are an event for the Russian intellectual life.

The key idea of the monograph is ideology as the moral and ethical canon of human behavior and the power and political regulation of society.

The system of professional education provides a person with certain means to achieve important goals in life. Its direct dependence on the level of sociocultural development of the society is axiomatic; the relation between the content of professional education and requirements of the socio-economic development of a nation has become the problem of scientific research not only for pedagogues, but for economists and sociologists as well. However, the influence of the evolution in labor on the organization of the system of professional education has not been thoroughly analyzed.
