THE IDEA OF THE “INNER HUMAN” IN THE EDUCATION OF A POSITIVE PERSONALITY

Abstract

The article discusses the idea of the inner human in the education of a positive personality. An inner human is indomitable, strong in spirit, who, regardless of external obstacles, troubles, or unfavorable situations, knows how to think correctly, positively, evaluate, and has inner freedom. Freedom is the only dimension of the being of the inner human. A person can be free under any circumstances because true freedom is inner freedom: freedom of spirit and freedom of conscience, freedom to choose a worthy position in life. Freedom gives a person subjectivity, the opportunity to choose, realize and create oneself. An inner human is not an ascetic, not an introvert, not a closed person detached from the world of life. An inner human is a positive personality who loves living life; he does not start wars because he values the life of everyone who came into this beautiful world. Sometimes circumstances and situations develop in such a way that a person withdraws from active social life, and abandons the established matrix of generally accepted values according to the standard of "living like everyone else." Instead, it is a forced choice of "internal emigration", which presupposes the acquisition of moral stability by a person, the expenditure of spiritual efforts to act according to conscience, subordinated to the task of self-determination in conditions of internal and external confrontation. An inner human personifies objective meanings, and makes them a part of his inner logos, becoming the subject of his development. To be an inner human means to be a person of honor and dignity, to remain oneself under various conditions and circumstances, not to betray oneself, and also to have the courage to be a person in the inhuman world.
