Abstract

The article presents the results of the study of the dialectic of value determinants of migration processes. The author emphasizes that the entire history of mankind is an illustration of the periodical increases or decreases in its mobility. In modern conditions of changing the established understanding of space and time as well as pandemic challenges, scientists face the problem of rethinking this phenomenon. In particular, in our opinion, the axiological determination of migration processes as one of the strategies of micro-level (family), group and social interaction, which can be both positive and antagonistic, requires special attention.
The creation of the concept of "axiological map of the migrant" was realized through the means of mapping: meridional and horizontal coordinate system, representing group and individual modes of values. Theoretical substantiation of the research topic was carried out in accordance with the following principles: indisputability (an a priori principle) of the structural organization of values and individualized variants of their hierarchy; the dependence of the existential variant of axiological map from the initial level of freedom of the emigrant and the potential to fluctuations of such level, which are determined by the localization of the exit and travel directions, social and legal statuses of the interacting parties, objective factors of social development, etc.; ensuring the process of comprehension of the "immanent meaning" (M. Weber) of the individual choice of diasporic existence, by studying the empirical-pluralistic coordinates.
It is argued that a society cannot exist without a generally accepted minimum of values, which ensures its functionality and multi-structural nature. Designing axiological maps of migrants in order to comprehend the "immanent meaning" of individual choice in building anti/migration strategies is a promising area of philosophical and political research. The study of projections of individual priorities will allow to adjust the directions of state policy in the field of education, social communication, economy, etc.
