Summary/Abstract: Sociology has proved that subjective reality corresponds to objective reality. Subjective reality is the subject to further reflection in this article, in its first part. In this part of the text we will identify kinds of quality which are generated in the sphere of consciousness of post-modern society. This will restore the subjective dimension of post-modernity. In the second part of the article we will define the characteristics of knowledge functioning in contemporary educational institutions. We will strive to find a common denominator for knowledge as point of reference of students at different levels of educational practice. Implementation of tasks associated with the development of the two parts of the text will create the possibility to compare and contrast the quality in both spheres of intellectual activity (postmodern consciousness − educational knowledge) and to determine the relationship between them − if any.
