Taking into consideration the worsening of global problems there is a need for forming a new cosmic-planetary world outlook of the individual in which values serve as perspective strategic life goals and the main motive of life activity, defining moral orientations and principles of behavior. Planetary-cosmic world outlook of any person assumes responsibility, creativity, activity of young people who, on the one hand, respect the diversity of cultures, but on the other hand they seek to unite nation and civilization to achieve higher goals. Realizing one’s unity with the world civilization, the personality with planetary-cosmic thinking can organize cooperation within the scope of the Earth and the Universe. Everyday, practical, professional, scientific knowledge plays an important role in the planetary-cosmic world out-look as an integral formation of the person. Individual values defining one’s life program, certain actions and deeds are produced by knowledge and experience. Man’s value relation to the world and oneself is formed into a hierarchy of personal values, on the top of which there are absolute values recorded in certain social ideals. The values hierarchy of the person with planetary-cosmic world outlook is formed depending on the life sphere, the most important of which being natural, biological, spiritual, mental and social spheres. Certain values correspond to every sphere of human existence: natural values (clean air, water, minerals, fertile soils, forests, rivers and seas rich in fish), biological values (health, healthy state of the body), mental values (feelings of comfort, elation, love, joy, happiness, etc..), social values (employment, harmony in society, order, peace, democracy), moral values (ideals of humanity – the good, the beautiful, truth, freedom, justice, holiness, and objects of culture (fiction, religious, moral and legal systems, scientific theories). Learning and understanding philosophical knowledge, acquiring philosophical methods contribute to successful formation of creative, humanitarian, planetary-cosmic world outlook of a person, since it allows to generalize the most recent achievements of different branches of science by means of actual outlook concepts. Humanistic values should prevail in the consciousness of a planetary-cosmic type person.

Modern humanism is aimed at such values-ideals as free-dom, justice, responsibility, irreconcilable attitude to violence, non-violence, economically justified planetary community of people. Values are an integral part of spiritual life of a new type person, they unite society spiritually for the highest uni-versal goals. Philosophy of education is an integration means of various vectors of society’s development (science, poli-tics, production, transformation and application of knowledge), since it has a preferable role in solving the most important problems of the humanity.
