Urgency of the research. Radical changes are taking place in the human living space in modern times, particularly the pluralization of lifestyles and their conceptualization in the modes of the art of living. Determining the functional potential of this style requires going beyond the history of decorative arts, fashion, and aesthetics and examining it in the problem field of philosophical anthropology.
Target setting. Military style design occupies a special place in contemporary culture. By shaping the aesthetics of the everyday space of modern Ukrainian people, it contributes to the consolidation and cohesion of society for the defense of the Motherland. The patriotic component of military-style design has significant educational potential. The volunteer sector uses the style of design to demonstrate dedication, solidarity, and professionalism in humanitarian and social initiatives.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The study of design as a cultural phenomenon has been covered in the plane of philosophical and cultural analysis, particularly in the research of Yu. Luhenyi, V. Danylenko, and I. Ryzhova. The study of elements of military culture is presented by J. Baudrillard and O. Shtokvysh. However, it should be noted that the consideration of design in the problem field of philosophical anthropology has not received sufficient coverage.
The research objective. To investigate the functional possibilities and educational potential of the military style in the strategies and practices of self-realization of modern Ukrainian people.
The statement of basic materials. Military style design can evoke feelings of power, authority, and discipline, as well as detachment, conformity, and violence. In this context, the role of the military component in modern Ukrainian society is justified. It is urgent to study the critical and ethical understanding of the use of design in military style and its potential consequences for human identity and well-being, taking into account historical and contemporary examples, as well as the diverse contexts in which it is applied.
Conclusions. Sociocultural aspects of military-style illustrate the complex relationship between military institutions and society, clearly demonstrating how fashion and style become a means of expressing and coordinating these relationships. The philosophical-anthropological conceptualization of design in military style allows us to identify the complementarity of processes of cultural integration and cultural adaptation of the individual in the spaces of the lifeworld.

Urgency of the research. The relevance of the socio-philosophical research of innovation in conditions of brain drain is determined by the existence of objective needs of society and the qualitative change of the subject of innovative activity.
Target setting. The article provides a conceptual understanding of the concept of “innovation”, a socio-philosophical analysis of innovation in the context of brain drain and its role in the development of modern society.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The essence of the concept of innovation is considered in the works of the following scientists analyzed in this article: P. A. Sorokina, O. S. Sheyko, P. Shtompki. In the context of this development, the works of the Polish researcher P. Shtompka, who comprehensively considered the phenomenon of innovations and innovations, proved to be fruitful.
The research objective. The purpose of the article is a socio-philosophical analysis of innovation, the relationship between tradition and innovation, the specifics of innovative activity in conditions of brain drain.
The statement of basic materials. Innovation is the process of creating special forms of transfer of individual and social experience, creative activity and result, which are devoid of analogies. The constructiveness of innovation, in conditions of brain drain, consists in the creation and development of a creative personality, which becomes a source of social progress, because it is a carrier of new experience. In the conditions of brain drain, due to the transformation of the subject of the social process, a specific feature of the functioning of innovation arises: the individual creative personality is necessarily manifested as the source and carrier of innovation.
Conclusions. In the conditions of brain drain, innovation in combination with tradition acquires syncretism, which is realized through the social separation of unification, standardization, universalization, on the one hand, and recognition by the community of innovative activity, intercultural communication, solidarity and humanism as sources of social progress - on the other.

Urgency of the research. It is well known that a university has three main functions: providing education, developing science, and supporting the community. But social changes in the world have changed the role of the university. Its social role is growing in diversity and complexity. In a knowledge-based society, the public has high expectations of the university's performance and impact. Its traditional roles are no longer valid. This change in the role of the university is reflected not only in the way knowledge is produced, which has become more transdisciplinary and applied, but also in the active involvement of different institutional spheres, universities, firms, government and end users, creating new hybrid spheres to manage innovation dynamics.
Target setting. The system of higher education in modern Ukraine is undergoing significant reforms and modernization, which are caused by many factors, including the war to the greatest extent. It is quite difficult to assess the prospects for the qualitative results of the program of education renovation in Ukraine, as well as the changes that have created the current conditions.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Many world and national scientist have paid attention to the concept of the social role of the university: W. Humboldt, K. Jaspers, M. Heidegger, E. Toffler, D. Bell, N. Boychenko, N. Demianenko, M. Zubrytska, V. Kremen, M. Polyakov, S. Savchuk, and others. However, the vast majority of works are devoted to the analysis of the classical university, but the issue of relevance is not exhaustively disclosed, given the frantic pace of change and adaptation of the university to them.
The research objective. To reveal the key aspects of the social role of the university in the period of modernity and in the future, as well as to trace what factors have a direct impact on it.
The statement of basic materials. Despite the established aspects of the role of the classical university, the article considers topical issues and consequences caused by the social needs and challenges of today.
Conclusions. In recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic and the war have significantly affected the process of providing education in Ukrainian universities and, accordingly, the performance of social functions. These changes have become a real challenge for universities, which have quickly adapted to the new conditions and learned to use modern technologies to provide quality education.

Urgency of the research. Many well-argued criticisms of the logocentrism and rationalism of the classical philosophical paradigm led to its destruction. But along with this, elements of non-classical methodology of various directions and schools were formed, which made it possible to understand and even discover the historical-philosophical traditions. In this article, we are talking about a fairly new direction from the point of view of philosophical justification, which was called “Ukrainian cordocentrism”. This direction is interesting in that, unlike the Western European classical philosophical paradigm with a logocentric foundation, Ukrainian cordocentrism belongs to a non-classical philosophical paradigm, because it was consciously built on the principle of “heart”. In turn, this principle has its own paradigmatic force, which developed on the “sidelines”, “periphery” of the classical European philosophical paradigm. Analyzing the texts of Ukrainian thinkers, D. Chyzhevsky identified the central “sign-symbol - the human heart”, which marked not only the Ukrainian baroque culture, but also formed the problem of the “philosophy of the heart” as the main characteristic of the entire tradition of Ukrainian philosophy, represented by H. Skovoroda, P. Yurkevich, M. Gogol, T. Shevchenko, V. Vynnychenko. And if so, then the question arises about the historical and philosophical sources that determined this direction of Ukrainian thinkers.
Target setting. The peculiarity of Ukrainian cordocentrism lies in the fact that Ukrainian culture has not only the roots of Christian culture in general, but rather of Orthodox culture with the Hesychast tradition. It was the Hesychast tradition during the formation of national Ukrainian statehood that determined not only the vector of Ukrainian history, but also the culture of Ukrainian thinking. The author examines the historical and cultural influence of the Hesychast tradition on the process of formation of Ukrainian history, national Ukrainian statehood and, in general, on the culture of Ukrainian thinking. Without taking into account the influence of the Hesychast tradition, it is impossible to understand the sources of the ideas of H. Skovoroda and P. Yurkevich as the founders of Ukrainian cordocentrism. Taking into account the hesychast tradition, Ukrainian cordocentrism appears as a phenomenon of a non-classical philosophical paradigm, which has not only historical and philosophical significance, but also determines the present and prospects of the philosophical, religious and cultural space.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Despite the different emphases emphasized by modern researchers: I. Bychko, M. Bulatov, I. Moiseev, S. Yarmus, N. Khamitov, K. Kislyuk, V. Kremen, O. Strazhny. Ya. Hnatiuk points out that that Ukrainian cordocentrism is a rather complex phenomenon, and therefore, from the point of view of traditional philosophy, a whole spectrum of hermeneutic layers can be distinguished in it: metaphilosophical, historical-philosophical, ontological, epistemological, anthropological, axiologi-cal, socio-philosophical, historiosophical, ethical. Looking for the original sources of the formation of this tradition, S. Yarmus and A. Bychko claim that the sources of the idea of cordocentrism are laid down in the period of Kyivan Rus. But it is especially necessary to pay attention to the research of S. Shumil, who for the first time consistently researches and proves the direct connection between the hesychastic tradition and Ukrainian history and statehood.
The research objective. Our task is to prove the thesis that the hesychast tradition is the source of Ukrainian cordocentrism as a non-classical philosophical tradition.
The statement of basic materials. The history of the adoption of Christianity by Kyivan Rus from the very beginning shows close ties with the monastic republic on Mount Athos. Researchers testify that Mount Athos was already the center of enlightenment and culture of Kyivan Rus. Only in this way does it become clear that Antony Pecherskyi was not a historical accident that suddenly fell from the sky like a star. Not only in Kyiv, but also in other cultural and political centers, monasteries appear in the context of the Athos heritage. XV century became catastrophic for the Byzantine Empire. But Athos retained relative autonomy. In the 16th century it is Volyn that becomes the spiritual and educational center of connection between the Ukrainian land and Mount Athos. The decline of Byzantium also affected the history of Ukrainian lands. The gradual strengthening of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth led to the beginning of projects to absorb Orthodox culture. The Union of Brest in 1596 provoked a movement of Orthodox spiritual and cultural resistance. And Athos, with the tradition of the Hesychasts, fulfilled his spiritual mission. The Athos influence on the literary works of Ukrainian figures was direct. S. Shumylo claims that Elder Ioann Vyshenskyi was the brightest personality of the Orthodox movement in Ukraine in the 17th century. His spiritual and literary work is a century ahead of the forerunners of the “philokalic revival” in Orthodoxy of the 18th-19th centuries. The works of I. Vyshenskyi are deeply imbued with ascetic and hesychastic motifs. But he was not only an experienced practitioner of the incessant Jesus prayer, but also tried to instill the hesychastic tradition in his homeland. It was from this that he wanted to build a spiritual and educational system in Orthodox monasteries according to Athos customs. The Ukrainian hesychastic revival had not only a religious and cultural-political influence. He was a statesman. The direct influence on the formation of Ukrainian statehood is confirmed by the blessing and, in fact, the legitimization of the “holy war” for the defense of Orthodoxy by the well-known Aphonite Patriarch of Constantinople Athanasius, who twice met with Bohdan Khmelnitsky and who ended his life in the Cossack Mgar monastery. The participation of Aphonites not only in the spiritual, but also in the political life of Ukraine was systematic and widespread. The 17th - 18th centuries also had a significant influence of the hesychastic tradition on all levels of Ukrainian society, from the spiritual and political elite to the masses. This is what can explain the phenomenon of H. Skovoroda.
Conclusions. Ukrainian cordo-centrism as a historical-philosophical phenomenon is a direct consequence of the influence of the hesychastic tradition on the formation of the Ukrainian culture of thought. Hesychasm, as a spiritual and religious phenomenon of Ukrainian culture, became the basis of the revival of Orthodox monasteries and Ukrainian statehood, went beyond the boundaries of Ukrainian monasticism and was widely spread not only to the Cossack elites, but also to the poorest strata. Thus, kobzarstvo was born, which was not only a socio-cultural phenomenon, but also a manifestation of the Hesykhat practice of traveling elders. Despite the era of secularization by the Russian Empire, following this tradition became the basis of G. Skovoroda's work as the founder of Ukrainian Cordocentrism. Despite the lack of a single religious-philosophical text among the representatives of this direction, their internal context can be attributed to a non-classical philosophical paradigm. Because the basis of the latter is not classical rationalism, but the problem of the “heart”, which was realized through spiritual mysticism, aesthesis and intuition. In this sense, even the influences of Western European mysticism did not so much determine, as complement and fit into the features of Cordocentric thinking.

Urgency of the research. In the modern world, creativity is a special kind of activity aimed at creating completely new spiritual or material achievements that have not been known before. In the process of this activity, a creative personality is born who not only creates something completely new but also skillfully changes the surrounding reality to adapt it to his or her social needs.
Target setting. Actualization of the creative potential of the individual for its further influence on the development of modern society is a priority task. An important task of such influence is to activate the resources of a creative personality in solving modern problems, as well as to highlight the phenomenon of creative potential in the context of modern society. A person as a creative person is the driving force behind the development of modern society.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The study prompted us to turn to the works of domestic and foreign scholars devoted to the philosophical foundations of the development of creativity and the creative potential of the individual as a driving force for development in the modern world. The problem of creativity has been studied in the scientific works of S. Averintsev, B. Ananiev, G. Batishchev, N. Berdyaev, V. Biebler, V. Wexler, L. Vygotsky, P. Kapitsa, G. Kedrova, M. Kogan, P. Kravchuk, I. Kucheriavyi, V. Matiushkin, M. Moiseev, V. Ovchynnikov, O. Polovynkin, Y. Ponomarev, E. Fromm, A. Khutorskyi, V. Shynkaruk, and others. Important for our study were the scientific works of Ukrainian scholars: V. Andrushchenko, M. Boychenko, L. Horbu-nova, E. Gerasymova, V. Zablotskyi, V. Ilyin, M. Mikhalchenko, I. Nadolnyi and others. Creativity as a socio-philosophical phenomenon is considered in the works of O. Hopka, V. Molyako, O. Muzykо, B. Novikov, Z. Samchuk, V. Kholodenko, L. Yaremenko.
The research objective. The purpose of the study is to analyze the impact of the creative potential of an individual on the formation and development of modern society. It is necessary to consider the socio-philosophical foundations of the formation of creative potential and to pay special attention to the relationship of the creative personality with the development and formation of new realities.
The statement of basic materials. The concept of creativity is multifaceted, which is why it is studied in different ways. But we should pay attention to the philosophical aspect of creativity. Because it is philosophy that reveals the phenomenon of creativity in terms of ontological content and the generation of something new. Plato emphasized that the fruit of God's creativity is the world order, which is based on divine contemplation, which in turn is revealed as reasonable in the process of human creativity. This idea was developed as “creation out of nothing”, which justified the idea of the divine creation of the world in the realm of pure spirit. It should be noted that philosophers of the Middle Ages considered the concept of creativity in two aspects: theistic and pantheistic. The former is based on the understanding of creativity as the command of a divine personality - God is the creator of the world and man, and he not only created the world but also controls it through divine providence. The latter aspect of creativity is based on the Platonic understanding of creativity as the mind contemplating itself. Creativity is a social phenomenon; it is not possible without a carrier, that is, an individual or society as a whole. An individual, in turn, reveals himself or herself through creativity; he or she has a certain creative potential, capabilities that establish his or her ability to create. In addition, creative potential is an important resource for creative activity. It is also important to take into account that creativity can be considered on different scales and in different spheres of human activity. The concept of a “creative person” means not only the presence of creative potential, but also the ability to use this potential to implement creative ideas. Thus, an individual's ability to transform the surrounding reality, i.e. the socio-cultural environment, is possible only if he or she has creative potential. Creative potential, in its turn, is characterized by a combination of creative abilities, peculiarities of creative thinking and internal resources of a person. It should be noted that creativity and creative potential are key success factors in areas where creative approaches are required, such as science, philosophy, art, etc. It is important to support and develop people's creative abilities so that they create new ideas and products that will change the world around us. Thus, the contradictions that arise between society and individuals in solving social problems can be overcome by actualizing the creative potential of the individual.
Conclusions. Creativity is one of the key driving forces behind the development of modern society. It determines not only scientific and technological progress, but also cultural and social changes. Creativity allows people to open up new opportunities and find innovative solutions to problems. Therefore, the development of creative potential should be a priority goal of any society.
