Modern socio-cultural situation: the problem of value orientations

Aim to identify value orientations within the concept of metamodernism. The article notes that after several decades of postmodernism, society turns to metamodernism as a new attempt to grasp its position in a constantly varying present, as an attempt to respond quickly to the proposed challenges of time. The author considers main features of metamodernism, and on their basis offers a characteristic of current value orientations, replacing the modernist attitudes: recognition of the value of "to stay between", the value priority of feeling and sensation, orientation on deep meanings, the desire to be involved in the great history. We conclude that metamodernism offers new ways of comprehending social being and, within their framework, the construction of a new hierarchy of value orientations.
