Personality is one of the most ambiguous concepts. This ambiguity is not so much
conceptual, how much conceptual. The problem is how to combine different
definitions of personality. In the ordinary mind, one of the three one-sided
interpretations.
The first is “every person is a person” (the equivalence of a person according to the criterion of Homo
sapiens);
the second one is “the personality of a person with his own position” (criterion of subjectivity);
the third - "personality - an outstanding person" (criterion of a person's position in society).
The core problem from which the problem of psychology actually grows
personality, is a psychophysiological problem that transforms into a problem
relationship between personality and organism. It can be argued that to refer to the human
of the individual, two concepts were established for some time - the organism and the personality.
Organism means the totality of everything that represents the biological nature
human and is the subject of study of biological sciences. The concept of personality refers to
aspects of human nature, which, by their objective nature, act as
its higher properties and integrating functions. Therefore, "to use the language of Hegel,
the organism is "removed" in the personality as in the highest unity of its biological and social being.
The fact that man, being a living being, is subject to the law of the biological sciences,
who cannot be doubted. Also, no one can question that a person
a social being.
It is obvious that the natural, organic aspects and traits of the individual exist in
personality structure as its socially conditioned elements. Biological exist in
personality in a transformed form as social. Unity, but not identity of the concepts of "personality"
and "individual" raises a number of questions. Among them, the main question is the question of what
represents a systemic quality of an individual, which is denoted by the concept of "personality".
