Abstract
The article considers the problem of human self-identification in the modern world. The relevance of the study is due to the process of human self-alienation, the loss of the person’s rootedness in his own foundational content stemming from the human nature itself. The specificity of philosophical reflection on human being is shown. The leading approach to the study of this problem is the ascent from the abstract to the concrete, which makes it possible to comprehend human being and the phenomena of time, finitude, and corporeality associated with it as phenomena that identify the truly human principle in us and manifest the ontological meaning itself. The dialectical method and hermeneutic analysis of the texts of contemporary researchers considering the problems of the philosophical bases of the human personality in the modern world are also used in this study. The article analyzes the status of the personality in the modern technogenic world, in which the uncontrolled stream of simulations and imitations, which include the human being becoming alienated, puts on the brink not only a person’s presence in the world, but the world itself as a “native home” of human life. The analysis shows that the possibility of human self-identification in the world is possible only due to the fact that it forms and preserves the human principle in us and is the manifestation of its being. The special role of conscious, sane and responsible action in this process is shown.
Highlights
Turning to the problem of philosophical foundations of personal human selfdetermination in the technogenic civilization is conditioned by the fact that we live in such a cogitative and cultural atmosphere, which plunges us into the world of various mediations, popular symbols and stereotypes, depriving us of the opportunity to truly think and be, distancing the man from himself
Technoformity in the modern world becomes more and more a manifestation of human identification in the reality constructed by man
The main condition of life itself is instrumentality, usefulness, and productivity. The definition of this condition depends on how life itself, above all, human life, is defined in its own essence, whether it is defined by history, which is more fundamental than nature, or by society, which depends on political and economic relations, or by the will to superhuman power, which requires constant reassessment of values"
Summary
Turning to the problem of philosophical foundations of personal human selfdetermination in the technogenic civilization is conditioned by the fact that we live in such a cogitative and cultural atmosphere, which plunges us into the world of various mediations, popular symbols and stereotypes, depriving us of the opportunity to truly think and be, distancing the man from himself. The problems threatening the modern civilization entail global changes in culture, touching upon and reshaping the spiritual life of the modern man. The key task for modern man is to oppose the technogenic, informational influences, which negatively affect personal self-determination. In this regard, Nurten Gokalp notes how "it is important to teach people how to use information in the form of original synthesis". The goal of education, according to the Turkish researcher, is "to provide people with appropriate conditions for maintaining personal integrity" [6]
