Journal Title: Філософські обрії - Year 2016, Vol 35, Issue 35
Abstract
In keeping with European intellectual tradition, there is a generally accepted point of view, positiong which personality is successful in terms of public confession achievement on condition of creative potential existence and powerful intellectual constituent, correlated, as a rule, with the proper management skills and organizational capabilities. However there are different ways of realization and self-identification for factually every man of marked individuality. The remarkable thing is that personality which aims to attain public confession and support of wide public, with a necessity must demonstrate willingness to incarnate constructs expected by society, which function in mass consciousness as a public ideal. However achievement methods of such constructs can radically disaccord up to choosing of diametrically opposite and mutually exclusive directions. At the level of mass consciousness such methods, as a rule, are interpreted as two opposite ways for achievement of select purpose. The first way is expounded as humane, altruistic, and focused on creative work and social activity of society. The other one is opposite, which manifest itself by destruction, cruelty and devastation, the eventual result of which is stagnancy and even destruction of all frame of society. Both indicated assignments are the result of confabulated archetypes of mass consciousness discourse recreation, however preliminary to impartial researcher the indicated problem appears as symbiosis of social transformations object in view and methods of its realization. It is the indicated factor which is determinative in relation to the choice of society motion direction which actually pulls out passionate personalities as leaders Areas of activity of such people can interlace and personality in this context becomes either positive or negative «hero». To be sure there is the exception when man which is provided with leadership skills and power, as with the factors of charismatic personality, is capable to take the place of folk deputy in mass consciousness that is spuriously to be positive for «friendlies» and negative for all the rest of them. And only considering such personality in the context of historical advancement, it is possible to arrive at conclusions toward its actual role in public transformations, although it is really impossible to make away with ideological constituent of events interpretation influence and historical persons of heretofore, both at the level of workaday consciousness and at theoretical consideration, in terms of which new scientific approaches can be offered. However it must be admitted that attempts to reduce the phenomenon of public power and its representatives to the level of utilitarian functionalities, makes sense exceptionally in periods of relatively stable existence of certain community, if the carrier of public power is oriented to the system observance of withstand legal and axiological norms. Therefore when the community enters the period of relative instability (that is one of the essential descriptions of postindustrial society dynamics) eccentric passionate personalities which categorically will not be congruent with schematic scopes of standard society, will appear in the limelight of political life as sure as fate. To create common weal or to wreak havoc and destruction - these are contradictory aspects of human authentication that account for its nature.
