The problem of shaping a values-based attitude toward humans requires complex, universal, and multilevel solutions (natural-scientific, cosmological-anthropological, sociological, cultural, moral, and ethical aspects). Another side of the problem lies in the postmodern devaluation of classical values that has caused a crisis in the education of the younger generations. The article presents the author’s conceptual, scientific-methodical, structural-functional model and technology for shaping a values-based attitude toward humans by stages in the humanities-oriented educational environment. Given postmodern trends in the post-Soviet countries with “young democracies”, the structural components of this model are as follows: the consideration of human nature in mastering disciplines, as well as out-of-classroom and out-of-school work, that seek to shape humanistic consciousness, feelings, and behavior based on basic values. In this regard, it is essential to help students learn to respect themselves, understand their personality (reflexivity), and resist external negative factors (emotional stability). Besides, it is important to consider the axiological component in a study of human nature, teach students to realize the value of others and develop their empathy skills.
