Abstract

The article analyzes the transformation of the value system caused by the transition to a “post-accustomed” reality. It is emphasized that, in connection with the pandemic, the world has found itself in a “boundary situation” when meaningful life problems are emphasized, and the need for a philosophical understanding of the ongoing value changes is brewing. On the agenda are questions about the value of life, the abolition of consumer standards, and the revival of the moral imperatives of solidarity and mutual assistance. “Post-accustomed” reality is the renewal and purification of the world, the revival of the spiritual and moral principles of human existence in the world. Health as a value of culture is the totality of the spiritual climate of society, overcoming alienation, aggression, greed, and returning to the values of the traditional culture of the Kazakhs. The article presents the results of a survey of experts– views on the ongoing events of three generations of one Kazakh family, acting as an“ideal-typical image”, according to Max Weber.

Key words: human, pandemic, post-accustomed reality, life world, the transformation of values, vaccination, solidarity.
