Urgency of the research topic lies in the formation of a modern system of world mobility and the description of the so-called “mobile turn”, which is becoming a new paradigm of philosophical research. Thanks to the latter, we can analyze not only constant, but also dynamic phenomena of modernity, which require not only socio-economic and cultural, but also philosophical justification.
Target setting. The main problem of the study is the relationship between the system of mobilities and the modern process of globalization. Research questions are: which process is primary, how they interact with each other and what are their consequences in the modern world. The study examines how globalization contributes to the formation of a whole paradigm of mobilities and how in general the concept of movement becomes the key concept in the “network society”.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The paradigm of mobilities is conceptualized in the works of British researcher J. Urry. The works of W. Beck, A. G. Frank, and D. Martin were chosen for the theoretical analysis of the globalization process. The historical and philosophical context of this topic is considered through the prism of the works of V. Windelband and G. Simmel. The topic potentially has significant historical and philosophical potential and needs more detailed research: both in terms of the history of philosophy and from the point of view of modern philosophical research.
The research objective. In accordance with the research, the task was to establish the relationship between the processes of mobilities and globalization and to identify their representation in modern studies of the paradigm of mobilities. The aim is to study the generalised characteristic of the modern paradigm of mobilities and its connection with processes of globalization.
The statement of basic materials. The article examines the main sources of globalization, formulates the modern paradigm of world mobilities, as well as demonstrates their relationship with each other. The modern process of regular changes and the creation of a new paradigm of reality is substantiated.
Conclusions. The processes of mobilities and globalization have been being developed under the influence of each other. This leads to the emergence of a “society of mobilities”, the essence of which is variability: norms, events, interpretation of facts. Modernity is in the process of regular changes, which are based on movement. Transformations of mobilities are reflected in scientific methodologies of the study of the philosophy of movement and globalization studies, which form the paradigmatic concept of mobilities of the XXI century. The study of this historical and philosophical genesis, certain areas of modern mobile studies and types of mobilities is a prospect for further exploration.
