THE INSIGHT FORCES OF MAN IN THE CONTEXT OF ONTOLOGICAL UNDERSTANDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF PERSONALITY’S AXIOLOGICAL CONSCIOUSNESS

Abstract

Mankind has come to the vital necessity of consciously transferring the meaning of human existence beyond the boundaries of the individual. The ontologically motivating factor is values that go beyond the social and sensual perception of the world — by nature man is induced by these transcendental imperatives. But how exactly does a person’s progressive movement into the sphere of transcendental values and interaction with them take place? And how is it possible to purposefully influence the process of actualizing values? We believe that the interaction between the layers of the transcendent and manifested world in the axiological context is based on the essential forces of man, their special way of organization and dialectical mechanism of action in the mutual correlation of man and life, in coevolution. The article is devoted to the discovery and research of this way of organization. The methodological basis is the structural-systemic and dialectical methods. In addition, we rely on the results of our earlier studies using the methods of phenomenology. As a result, we came to the necessity of introducing the category of value-cultural volume of personality, as a special form of organizing the insight forces of a person, which provides the possibility of dialectical interaction of value modus operandi in life activity and, accordingly, the very process of actualizing values. The cultural aspect here reflects a person’s ability to interact with the world, and the value aspect reflects an individual’s receptivity to the intensiveness of life. The value-cultural volume of the personality, organizing that part of the insight forces that ensures the development of value consciousness, represents the basis, the most important substantial and causal in the personality, as well as the condition, result and interface of human interaction with the manifested world and with the transcendental horizon of being. Moreover, it is the starting and ending point of the dialectics of self-cognizing being in its freedom and necessity — the way of self-disclosure of the Absolute. The results of the study open new opportunities for finding solutions to theoretical and applied problems in the light of the ongoing change of the value paradigm of society.
