Philosophical and Anthropological Aspects of Modern Mentoring in Education

The article examines the practice of mentoring as a special form of interpersonal communication and interaction between a mentor and a mentee. The current state of the mentor’s position as a teaching staff member in the field of education is analysed with an emphasis on the axiological aspect of mentoring practice. The main difficulties associated with the implementation of mentoring in modern socio-cultural conditions are considered in the context of existing anthropological risks associated primarily with the digitalisation of the education sector and the weakening role of family education. A typology of mentors based on a philosophical and anthropological approach is proposed.
