Abstract The article dwells over the problem of putting the man as the subject in the world of multiplicity and diversity, thereby in the matter of many orders simultaneously. It indicated the current circumstances of primacy of technique and technology in the existing social norms and cultural spaces, which conditions actions of a man connected with educating and nurturing of a man. In this perspective, author analised the question of Baudrillard’s irony technique, in accardance with which man loses their ability of critical view and their position for the sake of the subject. Which leads to the objectification in the field of education. The considerations reference to the conceptions and assumptions indicated by Jean Baudrillard as well as Jürgen Habermas, Martin Heidegger, Henry Jenkins, Sam Ford, Joshuy Green and John Fiske. The article attempts to answer the questions such as Whether it is possible to establish the correct direction of man’s actions as the entity in building the actual order of things? Whether it is possible to describe the technicized reality, to show its real picture? And Whether the actual subject gives the way to the technique itself?
