Abstract

The article sets out the research aspects of the description of the conceptual psychological level of explanation of personality consciousness: historical-psychological, procedural-dynamic and personalistic. A sequence of paradigmatic prisms of the study of consciousness is constructed from the methodology of reflexivity to the modern stage and its new canon. A methodological model of a single plane of analysis of numerous psychological theories of consciousness is proposed. The coordinate axes of the research plane of theories of consciousness are highlighted. The ordinate is represented by the dichotomous axis: «General empirical, meeting with the world - Individual empirical, unique separation of oneself from the world»; the abscissa is represented by the axis «Typical substantial, universal, attributive - Unique substantial, sensual delight from the infinite perfection of the world and trust in it». The features of the interpretation of consciousness from the perspective of three psychological foundations are analyzed: reflexivity, functionalism and deep psychology with isolating the belonging of each approach to one of the four partial spaces for explaining consciousness: «About the World», «In the World», «I and the World», «with the World». It is determined that the individuality and originality of the ensemble of human interaction with the world on the basis of «reflection in another», sets the potential for generating an infinity of «slices» of reality. Therefore, the methodology of reflexivity is placed in the center of the coordinate plane of the study of consciousness due to the fact that this process is potentially capable of activating all possible aspects of the action of consciousness: «consciousness about the World», «consciousness in the World», «consciousness of I and the World», «consciousness with the World». The quadrant «consciousness in the World», which is created by the axes «Typical substantial - Individual substantial» due to its phenomenological nature, corresponds to the views on the processualism of consciousness of W. James, according to which consciousness is primary, functionally holistic and represents a «stream». The tendency to explain what is characteristically subjective through a construct, which is essentially subjectively unknown, relates the deep direction of consciousness research to the «About the World» plane, to the quadrant that is outlined by the axes «General Empirical - Typical Empirical».
