АНАЛІЗ СУЧАСНИХ ПІДХОДІВ ДО ОСМИСЛЕННЯ ФЕНОМЕНУ «САМОРОЗВИТОК ОСОБИСТОСТІ»

The article analyzes the current approaches to the understanding and
definition of self-development of the personality. Revealed the erroneous
approaches to understanding the essence of this phenomenon. They are
caused by the lack of clear criteria for understanding this phenomenon.
All proposed changes in personality may have a double-digit assessment.
Thus, education, creativity, industry does not indicate clearly the
perfection of self-development of the personality. They can live with
imperfection of spiritual processes. They can be a tool of destruction of
the individual, for example, be used to criminal activities, be companions
ludomana life. And most importantly, the accumulation of knowledge is
not an end in itself the individual life. Self-knowledge is also not an end
in itself. Creativity, different skills – it is only a tool for creating novelty.
But not all of the creation of man develops his personality. Not every
change of inner peace, spiritual existence can be considered selfdevelopment.
It is obvious that the term "self-development of the
personality" should not reflect certain aspects of life. He refers to it in its
entirety to reflect the change in its values. Also, it does not always have a
reason for a person's own activity. Only freedom as the cause of the
personality activity makes it possible to speak of the self-movement and
self-development. Characteristic features of self-development of the
personality offer to consider enrichment of life which is initiated by
feeling of its incompleteness, as aspiration of enrichment and is
manifestation of a personal freedom.
