| Annotation | This article is devoted to the problems of human nature in the philosophical heritage. Man’s attempts to understand himself, his nature and essence are carried out throughout the history of mankind. This problem is one of the most important problems in philosophy. This issue becomes topical in critical periods of history. The authors turn to the analysis of those traditions that have developed in the history of philosophy in considering the problems of man. Denoting the differences in the understanding of man in Western and Eastern cultures, the authors dwell on those tendencies and changes of philosophical thought in the conceptions of man from Antiquity and the Middle Ages to modern times. Ancient philosophy makes the first attempt to understand man, his nature and essence, defines the main directions of the research. Medieval philosophy justifies the understanding of man as being sinful, needing repentance and humility. Philosophy of Renaissance and the Modern Age thinks of man as being active and transforming the world. Now relying on philosophical heritage, we once again try to understand man, his nature and essence, changing under the pressure of the new realities of the information society. |
