THE LIVING PRINCIPLE IN HUMAN. PART I. HISTORICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL ANALYSIS OF CLASSICAL PHILOSOPHY

Abstract

The search for ways to solve the problem of preservation and active reproduction of the living principle in human in the modern technologized world has necessitated the need to address the philosophical heritage of prominent philosophers. The article presents the results of historical and philosophical analysis of some part of classical philosophy, substantially related to the concept of “living principle in human”. The analysis of non-classical and modern philosophy will be reflected in the next article. The definition is formulated and the main features of the principle in human are outlined. It is defined that the principle in human is an internally holistic, natural being of man, an “organic whole”, self-developing and characterized by internal interconnectedness and interdependence of all sides. It is a set of system-organized components of human existence, each time manifested spontaneously and reproduced in its unique, unique form.
