Abstract

Man is a being who has the ability to create. Creativity was an important component of activity throughout the existence of mankind. However, in the context of an emerging digital society, creativity is becoming one of the key factors in the functioning of the economy and social institutions. Accordingly, the analysis of the relationship between the development of the creative potential of an individual and the social conditions that promote or impede this development seem to be an urgent scientific problem. The purpose of this work is to analyze the specifics of the development of a person’s creative potential in a digital society. The study is based on the theoretical developments of domestic and foreign scientists, which summarize the large empirical material of studying modern society. The modern form of dialectics acts as the methodological basis of the study, which allows us to identify and correlate the positive and negative aspects of the formation and functioning of a person’s creative potential in a digital society. As a result of the study, two basic statements were put forward and substantiated. According to the first, the positive aspects of the formation and functioning of creative potential in a digital society are in recognizing the individual as the main value and the general expansion of human capabilities. Negative aspects are structured and presented in the form of five blocks of problems that impede the formation and functioning of creative skills, namely, environmental, social, managerial, existential, psychological blocks. The second conclusion of the work reveals possible social technologies that contribute to the removal of identified problem points. These include the need to develop the methodology of social and human sciences, the instrumentalization of social and humanitarian expertise, the technologization of managerial activities, a clear fixation of the goals and objectives of training at the appropriate educational level, the development of psychotherapeutic practices and psycho-training.
