Abstract

The article deals with the issues of the cognition of a human being in the Soviet philosophy and the peculiarities of research approach. The author reveals the thesis of sociocentrism as a predominating paradigm in the Soviet philosophy. In sociocentrism the idea of a human being is that of a creature whose nature is predetermined by the social environment influence. In the author’s opinion this limited the development of discussions in philosophy and the appearance of new paradigms in human cognition. However, the author of the article admits that human cognition in the Soviet philosophy have actualized a sequence of issues (a human structure, the role of a person in the society, vocation and others), which, as a result, encouraged the appearance of philosophical anthropology as a relatively independent knowledge sphere in the general structure of philosophy.
