Abstract

The article analysed the concept of personal wholeness developed by key authors of the Kiev school of philosophical anthropology in the 1980s. In particular, the concept of a person’s world, suggested by the authors of this school, is considered here as the basis of the analysis of a person’s existential experience. In understanding personal wholeness, the Kiev school reconsidered the concept of practice and a number of key philosophical categories, as well as interpreted cultural archetypes according to the Marxist approach. The categories of the dialectics of wholeness and their essential paradoxes as special anthropological phenomena are considered here as an important source of intellectual and existential experience for a modern person; specific features of this dialectics are analysed. Particular attention is given to the “internal mechanisms” of the dialectical reflection about being in culture and in scientific reason, and its paradoxical nature. Further, the paper demonstrates the importance of paradoxes of personal wholeness, which were elaborated on in the epistemological works of the Kiev school authors, for the modern philosophy of science. Personal wholeness, after denying itself in the processes of a person’s existential transformations, then – practically and creatively – is reconstructed in a new correlation with cultural wholeness. A person is philosophically conceptualized as a “strange” entity that in the very fact of its existence initially lacks its actual authenticity: in order to truly be, this entity first has to find itself. Therefore, human being in the course of acquiring its authenticity always inevitably contains an eternal conflict of a person’s finding him/herself, a fulfilment of his/her aspiration to achieve the unity between his/her essence and existence; this unity, in turn, is a result of the exercised freedom of human life. In addition, the study shows that the analysis of the paradoxes of wholeness of a person’s world, discovered by the Kiev school authors, actualizes the further development of the philosophical category of mediation as a special theoretical tool for analysing personal wholeness mediated by these paradoxes.
