The article describes nonlinear nature of the course of humankind's history, which has gradually been realized by social consciousness in accordance with constantly increasing integration of the subjects of humankind. The research methodology is based on the principles of systematicity, subsidiarity as well as on the dialectics of such concepts as culture and civilization, linear and nonlinear, and others. Today integration has acquired the global character which changes, firstly, human subjectness and, secondly, man's attitude towards chance and necessity. All these characteristics are fraught with threats to the integrity of humankind's existence as well as opportunities for it to reach new levels of development. Particular culture which served as a powerful integrator of the society before, loses its ability to carry out ideological role in conditions of the information civilization nowadays. The transition of humankind from monocultural to multicultural way of being requires the implementation of relationship between culture and civilization built on the principles of complementarity. The formation of humankind as a selforganizing system is possible only based on the principle of negative feedback, for the realisation of which the organization of education system is of exceptional importance.
