Summary/Abstract: Anthropological and Axiological Foundations of Education. The study advocates the need for integration of knowledge in sciences of man. It describes the conception of man, as a being, from a number of perspectives on her/his biogenic, psychogenic, and sociogenic natures. It criticizes the radical educational conceptions through the prism of the value philosophy. It describes the current shift from socio-centrism to ego-centrism and to selfishness. It desires that the desired principles of moral behaviour will become real values, norms and ideals, i.e., personal confessions, through education.
