Reflexive substantiation of methodological approaches to cognition of personality

In the article the methodological analysis of modern psychological approaches to the cognition of the personality in its existential space of self-realization is carried out. The largest in human psychological research are the systemic, personal, rationalistic, action-oriented and cyclic-deed approaches that allow one to explain the emergence of a personality in the dimensions of its social and cultural data, which is manifested in the achievement of spiritual ideals in the full-dimensional life space of human self-creation. It is proved that the active, search and cognitive interaction of man and the world manifests itself in the organization of the cyclic act as the nodal focus of life, and the act of self-creation shapes and reveals the significant potentials of the individual in advancing towards his mentally and spiritual realization.
