Abstract



Introduction. The author analyzed a concept of “image” and its development in the European philosophical reflection. Purpose. The aim of this work is the philosophical and theoretical study of the concept of “image of a human being” to deepen our understanding of the human entity. Methods. Achievement of the goal is possible through implementation of the set of objectives: to give a definition to the notion of “human being image”; to discover its features and properties; to explore common features of the concept’s interpretation in the context of different philosophical approaches. Results. It is discovered that the imaginative perception of the world is an integral and constitutes the creative and active feature of human consciousness. Creating his/her own image, a human being transcendates himself to the world, offering its own self-understanding and embodying the (overtly or covertly) expectations regarding the attitude to yourself from the others. Originality. Image of a human is determined by the image of the ideal I, which forms the integrity of an individual. The image includes all the characteristics of related definitions, such as the face, lick, mask, etc. It comprises the image defined by the external features (picture, image), her physiological, moral and spiritual characteristics (face), social roles and stereotypes of behavior (mask). Conclusion. We detected the connotations of the concept of an image: from image of the universe to image of a human being and interpreted them in relevant meanings in terms of different philosophical approaches. The image acts as a concept and it is a basic and generic substance in relations with other concepts that represent him.
