An important feature of the contemporary human situation is the ever-increasing speed of sociocultural, economic and political transformations. Today, any stable elements are only temporary zones of stability, moments of «order» in a stream of «chaos». This situation leads to the actualization of the proportion of order and chaos in the existence of modern human beings and society. The deployment of the creative forces of the individual in the post-industrial economy leads to a total deconstruction of all the fundamental foundations of social being, and the creative activity of individuals begins to be interpreted as one of the manifestations of chaos, as «productive destruction». As a result, uncertainty, chaos, disorder, and risk are the result of the creative activity of «Prometheus Unbound» (H. Jonas). Purpose of the paper. It is important to investigate what forms human creative activity takes in modern conditions, what threats and prospects it can create as an irrational, chaotic force. Methodology. The study was conducted using the methods of theoretical generalization, comparative analysis, analysis and synthesis, which allowed to identify the educational content of nihilism as a revaluation of values. Scientific novelty. It is proved that chaos, irrational activity, as well as order, reasonable purposefulness, can erase the individual, dissolve it in the totality of the common. Each of these can form the basis of a special, totalitarian principle, indifferent to development. Chaos is the totality of the irrational. Order is the totality of the rational. Their interaction, then, is expressed as a flickering embodiment of a repressive totality in which all difference dissolves. Chaos appears as the controlled result of a hidden order, and the desire to organize the social world results in the spread of disorder and irrational consequences. On the contrary, creativity opens up a world beyond the extremes of order (law) and chaos (randomness). But this becomes possible in the space of vital, universal forms of human interaction and address to others and to oneself. People cease to be torn between the determinism of order and the arbitrariness of chaos when they enter the realm of caring interpersonal relationships created by humans. It is in them that the image of wholeness opens up, which is then realized in the interaction of community members with each other and society with nature. Creativity is always addressed to another person, it has an addressee, and therefore is dialogic. The search for completeness from which any creative act springs requires the other as co-creator, as one who is able to reflect the intent of the creator and through this to continue the creative process, to sustain life in the work. Hence the significance of the past for present creativity is revealed. In turn, the increasing efficiency of the rationalization of the social system is accompanied by a loss of meaning in the world around modern people. The connection of individual things into the unity of the world, of disconnected actions into the justification of personal destiny, of diverse thoughts, impressions, ideas, and desires into subjective identity is broken.
