RATIONALITY OF A PERSON AND ITS MARGINS IN SOCIAL LIFE
The article reveals the mechanism of rationality formation of a subject of social relations. The authors differentiate between the autonomous individual rationality and the objective universal rationality that organizes social being. They come to the conclusion that a direct transition from the individual level of rationality to the social one produces a lot of social contradictions and conflicts and thus looks impossible. Limitations of individual rationality are overcome in the process of personality development. The article highlights the six stages of removing the contradictions between the general and the individual in social practices going through which a person with her particular values, intentions, results of operations purposefully absorbs the universally meaningful processes thus reproducing the essential properties of a society. The result of this passage through the six stages is the interpenetration of the social and personal as the goals and the instruments of needed to achieve them.
