Relevance. The year of 2026 marks the centenary of the birth of the outstanding Ukrainian philosopher Vladlen Lutay, who was one of the founders of the entire direction of philosophy of education in Ukraine, and such an anniversary becomes an occasion for an analytical review of his ideas on the conceptualization of philosophy of education and on relevant prospects for the current development of the study of this issue. The purpose of the article is to study the creative heritage of Vladlen Lutay in the context of the main problems of philosophy of education today. Methods. Using analytical, dialectical, synergetical and other methods, the ideas on the conceptualization of philosophy of education and its main directions, put forward by Vladlen Lutay in the publications of the 1990s-2000s, are being considered, as well as their correlation with the current needs and trends of philosophizing about education. Novelty. It is noted that the vision of the main contradiction and the main mission of philosophy of education outlined by Vladlen Lutay has not only not lost its relevance in the 2020s, but appears even more urgent than in the mid-1990s and in the first years of the millennium. In the situation of unpredictability of today’s world, a synergetical understanding of education as a “movement to advance”, as well as the place of human in a world where AI-based technologies are widespread, are becoming even more relevant. Conclusion. The philosophy of contemporary education as a combination of the idea of the substantial unity of opposites and the idea of appreciation of a unique individuality that cannot be reduced to a certain general essence reveals the possibility of finding a “third synthetic path” between monism and pluralism – and the transition from selfish anthropocentrism to an anthropocosmic system of interaction between humanity and nature, based on the principles of environmental friendliness and sustainable development, as well as achieving mutual understanding between representatives of different cultural and Weltanschauung positions.
