LIFE COMPETENCE OF PERSONALITY AS A CONDITION OF LIFE CREATION: ORIGINS AND MODERN DIMENSION

Abstract

This article discusses current issues of personal development associated with the formation of its vital competence. In particular, attention is paid to the problem of man, his place in the world, spiritual life, happiness, ways to achieve it throughout the history of world scientific thought; the evolution of views on the essence of the concept of "life competence" of the individual, which has its own history and specifics, is analyzed. It was found that the study of this pedagogical problem is carried out on the border of the sciences of society and education, so in the philosophical and sociological literature partially developed a general theoretical foundation for studying the problem of forming the vital competence of the individual.
 Modern views of Ukrainian scientists on the essence and components of life competence of the individual are revealed. Emphasis is placed on the fact that this concept as a certain theoretical category took shape only in the last century. The life competence of a person of the twenty-first century involves the ability to mobilize in any situation, in any action to acquire knowledge, understanding experience, in order to learn to live in human society, learn to design their lives, skills that would allow her to productively build her life in accordance with the requirements of her own spirit and the demands of society, the essence of life competence will always be insufficiently represented in the history of society. It is concluded that trying to understand or define the essence of the concept of "life" is the same impossible task as trying to overcome the speed of light. Too low a level of awareness does not allow the average person to plunge into the secrets of the universe. Everyone has the right to create and realize their own picture of the world.
