Modern globalization processes are changing the perception and definition paradigm of the role of acquired knowledge in society. Based on new challenges, new ideas about this category are being formed. The purpose of the article is to determine the philosophical and intellectual contexts of the knowledge value in the context of modern globalization challenges based on a study of scientific literature. The object of the study is the knowledge phenomenon in philosophical, intellectual and educational discourses. The work is based on the use of theoretical research methods: analysis, synthesis, abstraction, comparativism. The methodology is also based on the principles of objectivity, criticality, and tolerance. Particularly, in order to broadly cover theoretical ideas about the essence of knowledge in the modern era, 50 positions of scientific literature, works of modern intellectuals and philosophers were analysed. The results consider globalization challenges to the modern system of knowledge acquisition and its value, trace the possibilities of using artificial intelligence for study and research, and explore the use of digital tools in order to improve the perception of information and knowledge. Particular attention is paid to the impact of globalisation on the modern knowledge system. Namely, it is determined that current changes in the labour market dictate new requirements for the knowledge formation. Traditional forms of education are being replaced by independent and non-formal learning, which are supported by self-motivation and the need to meet the expectations of employers. The author emphasises the relevance and further evolution of lifelong learning, the use and deepening of the integration of knowledge acquisition and digital information technologies. It is proposed that these vectors are adequate responses to globalisation challenges. The theoretical significance of the study lies in the attempts to predict the main vectors of knowledge development and systems of its acquisition in the future through the prism of philosophical and intellectual discourses. The practical significance of the work is to substantiate the effectiveness of non-degree education as a methodology for acquiring knowledge in the future. The conclusions note that the phenomenon of knowledge in the modern paradigm of globalisation processes is gaining new meaning and content, emphasising the role of knowledge in the system of uncontested educational trends. At the same time, in addition to summarising the main results, the conclusions also draw attention to the fact that the problematic point in determining the role of knowledge is the creation of artificial barriers to its dissemination.
