Sabadukha V. Metaphysics of social and personal being in the context of European and Ukrainian traditions: historical and philosophical analyses.

The dissertation investigates the role and significance of the principles of social existence in the history of philosophy in the unity of spiritual and material components: socio-psychological and spiritual qualities of man, metaphysical foundations of his life and the principles of social life. It is proved that the content of the originals is organically connected with the idea of personality as a perfect person. A metaphysical theory of personality is formulated. In the process of spiritual formation, a person is able to go through four stages of development: a dependent personality, a mediocre personality, a mature personality and a genius, and can dwell on the stages of a dependent or mediocre personality. The organic connection of human qualities with the forms of social existence is substantiated and the concepts: "impersonal paradigm of human existence" and "personal paradigm of human existence" are formulated. On the basis of the metaphysical theory of the personality and two paradigms of existence of the person and a society the author's – paradigmatic – approach to understanding of history is formulated. It is substantiated that the idea of personal existence for its embodiment requires metaphysical and conceptual characters: philosophers, psychologists, artists, educators. It is proved that the core of social existence should be the worldview law: "Personality is the principle of existence."
