Value intelligence of the personality in solving of modern social problems

Abstract

The general problematic context of the present time (mostly negative and tense) causes a special interest to possible means of removing this negativity and tension. The construct of value intelligence, which has a theoretical and practical perspective as a means of understanding and solving modern social problems, is proposed in the paper. To substantiate the construct of value intelligence, the position about the dependence of the personality’s vital activity on the level of assimilation of values and acceptance of value orientations, as well as the formation and level of axiological culture, which includes the depth of axiological knowledge, is taken as a basis. On the other hand, the thesis of great importance is that the human intelligence as a set of mental cognitive processes, that provide a person with the opportunity to understand and change the world, is traditionally considered to be one of the important prerequisites of life success and achievements in public life.

          The formation of value intelligence is interpreted as the acquiring and acquisition of skills to find such optimal value patterns of the relationships with other people, or social formations, which will create a situation of security and peace in the relationships in the process of interpersonal interaction. Value intelligence is considered as a subsystem of a social intelligence. This position agrees with the interpretation of social intelligence as an integral plurality of the forms of non-academic intelligence. The value intelligence of a human is defined as the ability to identify, understand and tolerantly perceive different value worlds (personal, group, social). At the same time, the developed value intelligence becomes an important prerequisite for finding solutions in the value discourse that will satisfy the various parties of possible value collisions and conflicts as much as possible. The value intelligence is potentially seen as one of the results of educational activities. Based on the task of value intelligence formation, the additional motive and argument for strengthening the axiological component of the educational process comes into being. The position that the formation of humanistic values in modern society is impossible without the development of value intelligence is stood up for.
