Abstract

The publication carries out a socio-philosophical analysis of the phenomenon of critical thinking as a strategic resource of a person’s professional activity in a multicultural society under conditions of new realities of the postindustrial architecture of the world economy. It is noted that the full-scale war of the independent Ukrainian state against the Russian Federation for its sovereignty and territorial integrity increases the relevance of studying the problem of the integration of each free country into the structurally organized mechanism of the globalized world with the aim of long-term mutually beneficial partnership and ensuring stable socio-economic development. It was established that the professional competences of each individual create the active social potential of the state, thankfully to the intensive development of research institutions and the educational process, which indirectly increases the need for a critical understanding of their development in a specific field of modern production. The results of the conducted research are the following provisions: 1) within a multicultural society, the volume of professional knowledge acquires its unique systematicity and coherence, as well as determines the relative independence of the laws of existence of social mind and collective effectiveness; 2) against the background of contradictions of transition to fundamentally new foundations of socio-economic paradigm of the globalized world, there is a structural complication of the cognitive process itself, when a modern specialist learns not only the methods of competent assessment of economic and economic knowledge, their humanitarian nature and the semantic field of culture, but also begins to take into account powerful informational factor of influence on the system of formation of modern symbols and signs in the political-ideological mechanism of social relations; 3) growing possibilities of robotics require a new methodological structure and principles of building educational programs for specialists who must possess the basics of critical thinking, therefore, the key educational competence of a future specialist is rational experimental and practical understanding of the world and skills for managing the latest technological mechanisms of subject-material transformation of reality. It was proven that the process of cognitive appropriation of knowledge and critical thinking skills by a modern specialist, firstly, stimulates the situation of self-actualization of the natural qualities of an individual; secondly, defines the basis of intellectual activity as the idea of openness of social space for the latest innovative approaches with an emphasis on effective results; thirdly, it contributes to the understanding of socio-cultural heritage as a manifestation of activity of its subjects, the possibility of the existence of various worldview guidelines and liberal rules of social behaviour.
