The article examines the role of the humanities knowledge in shaping the strategic thinking of civil servants amid the transformation of the public administration system. A humanities-based education is a key factor in the development of professional competencies among management personnel. This type of education encompasses philosophical, ethical, and cultural studies. This study examines the relationship between the level of humanities education that employees have received and their ability to engage in long-term planning, critical analysis, and make well-considered management choices.The authors place particular emphasis on communicative competence as a component of strategic thinking and on the spiritual and moral development of civil servants. They also highlight the importance of conceptual clarity regarding basic ethical categories. The results obtained make it possible to suggest new ways of integrating the humanities knowledge into personalized educational pathways using innovative adaptive learning technologies. The study shows that there’s a need for a well-planned, humanitarian approach to the ongoing professional training of state and municipal employees as a key management goal. This is even more important in the context of digital transformation in the civil service.

The article addresses the contemporary concerns about combining traditional ideals with innovative approaches in the higher education in humanities. In light of society’s technological advancement, the author examines methodological issues of finding a balance between humanization and humanitarization in education. The study emphasizes the necessity of using the country’s cultural legacy to inspire creative teaching methods while preserving moral and spiritual principles. The paper focuses on the concept of «Homo humanus» as a normative model of personality that necessitates a dialectical integration of tradition and innovation. The author offers several methodological solutions, including the application of an interdisciplinary approach, project-based learning, interactive techniques in philosophical disciplines, multimedia technologies in teaching literature, and references to the heritage of the Russian religious philosophy. Teaching methods in the humanities must foster the growth of critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and the capacity for analysis and self-reflection rather than just transferring knowledge. According to the author, education in the humanities serves both cognitive and axiological purposes by establishing a set of principles and values allowing people to define themselves within a cultural context. The recent studies show that effective humanities education should avoid dogmatism and pointless innovations by integrating traditional values with innovative teaching technologies.

The article focuses on a thorough examination of the epistemological potential of an interdisciplinary approach in social and humanities research, taking into account the transformation of modern society and scientific knowledge. The study investigates the evolution of interdisciplinarity, from the first integrative attempts in classical sociologists’ works to contemporary research strategies in the context of a complex, nonlinear, and highly differentiated social reality. The authors provide a detailed analysis of the four fundamental conceptual «turns» in science that served as the foundation for interdisciplinary research methodology. The paper identifies key methodological innovations for each scientific «turn». The study organizes the epistemological benefits of interdisciplinarity as well as its drawbacks. The author categorizes interdisciplinary approaches into two groups: subjectively oriented and objectively oriented. The article focuses especially on the unique features of modern social processes that call for the use of interdisciplinary approaches. As a unique research object, the author believes that the Internet is a perfect place to test interdisciplinary approaches.
