MODERN APPROACHES TO THE CONCEPT OF SPIRITUAL AND MORAL IDENTITY

Abstract

The purpose of the given article is theoretical justification of the concept by essentially new methodological learning tools, addressing to a complete person. Such foreshortening of studying the problem of consciousness gives the readers the chance to understand that a person exists in movement, in continuous process of self-development, that is he changes under the influence of the changing world, but the world changes under the influence of a person as it is created substantially by him. The novelty of the presented work is that the analysis of the concept “spiritual and moral consciousness” from the point of view of theological, scientific, psychological and pedagogical approaches is submitted for the first time. The article gives the comparison in interpretation of this concept in various scientific directions. The spiritual aspect of consciousness is presented as one of the main components in structure of consciousness. The author defines four directions of search of the psychological nature of spirituality. Thus, the article is devoted to the analysis of modern psychological and pedagogical references on the problem of consciousness and spiritual and moral consciousness, its structure and sources of its formation.
