Urgency of the research. In the postmodern era, cultural practices are resolutely rethinking the trajectories of their development and content. The negation of rationality as a self-sufficient basis of culture in general, and the culture of thinking in particular, produces a qualitatively new type of discourse both as descriptive practice and as a technology of meaning-making. Postmodernism postulates a global worldview crisis, which is directly embodied in the semiotic field of modern culture.
Target setting. There is an urgent need for a fundamental analysis of current worldview determinants regarding the prospects for further development of culture in view of its metaphysical content.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. In modern worldview practices, discussions continue on the content, meaning and historical framework of the philosophy of postmodernism, especially in the context of the declared rejection of the metaphysical principles of cognition. P. J. Hiett notes a common position on the statement of the impossibility of finding the Absolute in postmodernism, which is limited to a focus on finite things, utilitarian or ironic. N. Frangipane argues that despite the postulates of the end of postmodernism, the ideas articulated by him take place in modern culture, in particular in fiction. I. Hassan argues that postmodernism can be defined as a continuous exercise in self-determination. H. De Dijn substantiates metaphysics as a method of cognition does not contradict not only the modern realities of socio-cultural life, but is organically united with science in the highest forms of its objectification and pragmatism. H. de Vries is convinced that the critique of metaphysics is an integral attribute of metaphysics itself. The variability of the use of metaphysics as a method is convincingly noted by J. Barris. He argues the system-formalizing content of metaphysical thought. A. Shepperson and K. J. Tomaselli argue that the study of culture and its worldview principles are important in solving the most pressing humanitarian problems of our time.
The research objective. The apotheosis of freedom (nominal, of course), postulated by the philosophy of postmodernism, is dangerous for real social cataclysms. Accordingly, there is a need for a conceptual analysis of the "metaphysical core" of postmodern studies.
The statement of basic material. The problem of discreteness and continuity of time and space correlates with the problem of the whole and the general. If ontology is presented as a world of individual things, and metaphysical systems describe the world as a whole, then the philosophy of postmodernism questions and criticizes classical examples of the postulation of integrity. The result of such a worldview disposition is an existential-horizontal vector of goal-setting and expediency as such. The development, or rather, the "habitation" of space in time occurs as its marking - the establishment of marks, leaving traces and cartography. All the monumentality of culture is, thus, a sign-symbolic system that reformats the world in a human-sized format. The temporality of subjectivity is not only an existential tragedy, but also a sacred gift of an essential vision of things and phenomena. Even if in postmodernism this sacredness is legitimized by society and culture, not by the eternity of the universe.
Conclusions. Confusion and disorientation of man against the background of the semiotic space of the culture of the unconscious requires radical solutions. It is impossible to master reality in its spatiotemporal definitions of both physical and social dimensions. A plausible solution to this age-old problem of adapting the world to human needs and demands is to propose the creation of a virtual reality, or a collective consciousness as a monument to the technical and civilizational progress of mankind.
Keywords: postmodernism, deconstruction, simulacrum, space, time, culture, subjectivity, sociality.

Urgency of the research. The issue of the meaning of human life throughout the entire existence of mankind is debatable and does not cease to lose its relevance, because a large number of people do not have a clear answer to this question. Therefore, this worldview issue requires further research.
Target setting. It should be stated that modern society has problems with the spiritual and moral state. The spirituality of nation is on a rather low level, and the issue of morals is ignored and trampled by society. Religiosity is mainly manifested in rites, the essence of which the majority of Ukrainians do not know, and therefore cannot explain, because it happened historically. The level of spirituality and righteousness of life will depend primarily on a person's understanding of the meaning of own life.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Considering the issue of the meaning of human life, it should be noted that it does not lose its relevance today. On the one hand, it is considered in matters of philosophical doctrine, giving it a debatable character, and on the other has a clear theological interpretation. The view on this issue is described in the works of philosophers N. A. Berdyaev, V. S. Solovyov, G. S. Skovoroda and theological scholars V. A. Popov, I. S. Prokhanov.
The research objective. To consider the issue of the meaning of human life in terms of philosophical doctrine and open this one from the position of Ivan Prokhanov's theological vision based on the analysis of his audio - sermon "What is the meaning of your life?".
The statement of basic materials. The article focuses on the preacher I. S. Prokhanov. Among his preaching heritage, audio - sermon "What is the meaning of your life?" is preserved to this day. This sermon is practical. It is aimed at changing the moral consciousness of people so that they could become designers of a new social and political life based on Christian values. In his opinion, human life is meant for God, which means work, family, society, mankind, art and science is everything for God because everything is from God.
Conclusions. The article deals with the issues of the meaning of human life in terms of the philosophical doctrine and analyzes the sermon of I. S. Prokhanov, which is a direct call to human understanding of the meaning of own life.
Keywords: I. S. Prokhanov, sermon, meaning of human life, God, Scripture, pessimism, pure optimistic belief.

Urgency of the research. In the official letter of the Ministry of Education of Ukraine dated July 5, 2018 under № 1 / 9-421, addressed to the heads of all higher education institutions, there is the list of 230 religious (‘faith-based’) schools, of which about 44% can be qualified as Protestant.
The list of branches of knowledge and specialties for which training of applicants for higher education is carried out is category (04) "theology" with the corresponding specialty (041) "theology". However, little (if any) comparative research has been done. Thus, there is a strong demand for critical research.
Ukraine has chosen the appropriate path of non-discrimination and equal opportunities for all. Creating uniform terminology is a task that has not yet been accomplished.
Education obtained in religious (‘faith-based’) educational institutions prior to 2018 could be recognized by the MES, and many graduates went through that process, thus a number of graduates with recognized education grows rapidly.
Thus any research in this area will have scientific novelty.
Target setting. Mentioned subject field is not well-researched and that creates an outstanding need to increase co-operation with ‘faith-based’ higher education institutions, study their best practices and make attempts to achieve unified terminology.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. There are practically no publications on this subject. There is the terminology used in legal acts, there are single studies of religious (‘faith-based’) higher educational institutions, mainly within the framework of religious studies.
The research objective. To identify the difficulties of achieving non-discriminatory terminology education that would balance correctness on the one hand and scientific and objectivity on the other; to analyse the existing options for the nomination of educational institutions established by religious organizations, by denominations and confessions; to propose the most optimal time frames regarding the religious (‘faith-based’) educational institutions.
The statement of basic materials. The author analyses the three most common ways to address the institutions of higher education established by religious organizations.
Conclusions. Certain terms how ‘faith-based educational institutions’ are being addressed to in Ukraine create some negative connotations. At the same time there is limited room for the use of the most common terminology. However, author comes to a conclusion that the legal status as existing terminology is the best option.
Keywords: ‘faith-based’ educational institutions, recognition of ‘faith-based’ education, Protestants, non-discriminating attitude
