Relationship to Oneself: From Cultural Genesis to Individual Development

Abstract

The papers provides a theoretical basis for future elaboration of the concept of “relationship to oneself” in the conext of personology. The possibilities of self-attitude research are unveiled, based on personological synthesis of cultural-historical, ontological, and psychological ideas on self-attitudes that can be found in the works of M. Foucault, M.M. Bakhtin, M.K. Mamardashvili, S.L. Rubinstein. Based on the author’s methodological perspective, reconstruction, and systematization of those ideas, original theoretical, interpretational, and reflective-phenomenological models of development of relationship to oneself are developed and presented.
