Abstract

The analysis of the historical development of education reveals one of the main driving forces in its growth. In order to describe it, we introduce and research a new social and philosophical concept: Apollo’s challenge. This essence of the challenge is that society must resolve periodically emerging contradictions between the demands of growing rational knowledge and the social and cultural conditions for this knowledge existence and development. It is shown that in the case when society creates social provisions for new rational knowledge appropriate for the needs of developing this knowledge, the latter can continue its advanced development. This development is determined by incremental rational knowledge, realized in various spheres of society, determines its progressive development.
