Abstract

The article outlines the main hypotheses of the research program "Thinking, consciousness and freedom". The cluster of concepts consciousness-meaningfulness-autonomy-rationality-(in)determinism-subjectivity-idealization is under consideration. The significance of transcendentalist disposition for theories of consciousness striving for maximum consistency with reliable results of modern sciences is substantiated. On the one hand, mutually compatible variants of interpretations of the above-mentioned concepts are analyzed; on the other hand, conceptual constellations leading to the effects of theoretical trivialization of basic forms of human knowledge and self-understanding are revealed. The importance of conjugacy of the phenomenon of rational activity and the processes of (re)establishing autonomy is emphasized. Special attention is paid to the metaphysical presumptions underlying a number of scientific theories, and, accordingly, to the issue of existential and metaphysical self-determination of modern man.
