Abstract
The article is devoted to understanding the problem of human self-determination in the modern social and cultural space, in which the question of personal identity becomes a search for one's own individualization, a question of survival and preservation of man as such. The relevance of the study is determined by the process of dehumanization of modern society, a crisis of spirituality leading to the prevalence of destructive origins, to depersonalization and the destruction of the individual personal dimension of human existence. The leading approach to the study of this problem is the method of the ascent from the abstract to the concrete, which makes it possible to comprehend the being of man and the phenomena of his existence associated with it. In this study, we used the dialectical method and the hermeneutical analysis of texts by modern scholars who consider the problems of the philosophical foundations of personal identity in the modern social and cultural world. The connection between the constitution of the essential definitiveness of the human personality and the existential source of the human origin itself is shown. The influence of the social transformation processes on the methods and possibilities of self-identification of man, on his self-identity is revealed. The conducted analysis shows that the key problem of modern society is man himself as a subject of a technotronic-oriented civilization, in which his personal identity is not only a key factor in his existence, but also a fundamental link in the reconstruction of the wholeness of being.
Highlights
Understanding the current social and cultural situation is impossible without understanding our true “I”, that acting and actual person, in which our true identity is embodied
The aim of our study is the analysis of the essential foundations of man in the modern social and cultural world, testifying to his personal identity
If man prevails in the world as an animal rationale, this type of nature of human existence is expressed primarily in that way of comprehending all things existent, by which all that exists is established in the status of its objects and subjective states; this type of nature counterposes all things existent as objects and is consistent with these objects as with surrounding circumstances
Summary
Understanding the current social and cultural situation is impossible without understanding our true “I”, that acting and actual person, in which our true identity is embodied. The meaning of man, of his presence in the world increasingly draws us to the comprehension of our own individual fate, of the tragedy of man in the modern world. Man with his own destiny has become problematic for himself, but the problem of identity becomes a matter of human survival as such. Issues of selfdetermination, freedom and responsibility of a personality are increasingly associated with anxiety for a lost world, with a search for a world in which commensurability, the restoration of the wholeness of being, which gives meaning to human existence, are possible. Stanford highlights the positive features of cultural evolution in recent years and the possibility of “including man in a wider evolutionary synthesis” [3]
