Abstract: The author of the article shares his own views on how the problem of human has been solved in history. This problem is formed as a question about what makes us human. The author gives the following three answers to this question: we become human when we rise over our earthly affections or try to get to know the world around or ourselves. Obviously, modern (technological) civilization is an example of the second answer to the question about human. It is fatal both for nature and human himself. Many philosophers pointed out that the third answer was actually efficient — the option when the culture is saved.

Abstract: In this article the author considers the topic about the observable and unobservable in the human inner world. It is well know that observation of our inner world is different from observation of material things, on-going events and natural science targets. It is one thing to observe natural phenomenon and it is completely a different thing to observe consciousness, psyche and our own Self. Due to the fact that there are many conceptions of our inner world, the author of the article describes what is observable and what is not observable, what can be researched and what cannot. We should also remember that observation and study of the surrounding world remain imperfect without observation and study of the human inner world because our inner world is a reality, too. Our inner world contains all kinds of feelings, sensations, psychic images which lead us through our life and influence the surrounding world. Important goals of this research include: first of all, to study peculiarities of observation of the inner world and self-observation based on Immanuel Kant’s and Boris Velichkovsky’s philosophies; secondly, to compare modern researches in the sphere of unconsciousness and cognitive science including classical experiment with the participation of Wilhelm Wundt’s metronome; thirdly, the author analyzes the topic of unobservability of Self based on classical philosophy and modern conceptions introduced by such philosophers as Vladislav Lektorsky and Rom Harre.

Keywords: psychology, non-observable, Self, human inner world, self-observation, consciousness, unconsciousness, cognitive sciences, epistemology, psyche, reality.

Abstract: The problem of consciousness, psyche and material is one of the most difficult issues in scientific cognition of human. This article is aimed at: 1) brief analysis of the basic hypotheses about the nature of consciousness in different spheres of knowledge: science, philosophy, religion and yoga; 2) description of the modern approach to the relationship between consciousness, psyche and material. When drawing out the main conclusions the author notes that consciousness is a universal phenomenon existing in each atom of the material. The main characteristic of the consciousness is an impulse to exist, a will to self-preservation and a desire to survive and live forever. Representatives of different spheres of knowledge divide the universal (i.e. integral) consciousness into various levels. This is the reason why there are so many theories of consciousness today. Modern experimental researches show that brains are not related to the production of consciousness at all. Our brain catches and transmits information and energy which allows us to express all kinds of potentials and capabilities. Our brain models the souring world by the means of neurons. Many neurons working together make it possible to build a model of the world. Consciousness can exist both outside one’s body and one’s spirit and consciousness is both material and ideal because it has a dual nature. There is no such a science which could fully explain the phenomenon of consciousness. However, we have all grounds to believe that science, philosophy, religion and Eastern teachings are gaining more common points about the nature of consciousness as the basis and prime cause of all being including earthly lie, psyche and human consciousness.
