Abstract
The article is devoted to solving the problem to determine the favorable conditions for the development of a child's integral personality, in particular, social and spiritual development components. The article briefly presents a retrospective analysis how the society and the state attitude to people with intellectual disabilities was changed and how it is related to characteristic changes in moral and spiritual values in society. The most common problems to implement the integrated education for children with special educational needs are identified. The author tried to characterize its and to identify a possible promising approaches to raising children with intellectual disabilities. The analysis of the integrative approach definitions, which is now being actively implemented in Ukraine education, shows its imperfection, since it poses, but does not indicate the problems solving, which related to the goal of creating new wholes in education, namely: how to find the image of a new (unknown) integrity and how to determine its viability conditions. An attempt was made to solve these questions within the framework of such areas as modern postmodern culture with its intention to consider the universe as a single living organism, a holistic view of nature, holism as a «philosophy of integrity», cosmism as a holistic socio-cultural phenomenon, which is oriented towards a synthetic vision of reality and perception of a person as an organic part of the cosmic unity. A conclusion was made about the possibility to consider the unity of man ("microcosm" of G. Skovoroda or "human microcosm" of M. Holodnyj) and "macrocosm" of the entire universe (which includes nature and society, or "social cosmos" of M. Kholodnyj). A harmonious and organic combination of parts is defined as a condition for the viability of wholes in education. The author agrees with the expediency to consider the education essence as soul "treatment" and with the corresponding priority for child education. Based on these positions, the author sees a perspective to apply in the educational system the statements of Ukrainian M. Kholodnyj’s anthropocosmism as a source of spirituality and value orientations for the Ukrainian person in his relationship with the world of nature and culture.
