Abstract

Alfred Adler, based on his philosophical, psychological, pedagogical and natural researches, wrote in detail about his concept of the significance of human being's spirituality in his work called “The theory and practice of individual psychology”. One of the most important features of “individual psychology” for life, ac- cording to the scholar, is understanding the essence of human being's aspiration towards his goals. In “individual psychology” Adler reviews the issue of relations between conscience and unconsciousness and pays attention not only to biological and natural sides of it, but pays big attention to social and cultural features of human being's spiritual state as well.
