Description
Summary:The problem of individual achievements in philosophical and psychological discourse is analyzed. It is noted that the issue of individual achievements is studied by philosophers of different directions within the limits of global problems of mankind. It is revealed that philosophers understand achievements simultaneously as the process of personality’s improving of himself, his actions, carried out in this process. Despite the differences in the views, philosophers determine the personality’s aspiration to achieve as his internal need. Achievements (like actions) are characterized as a means of self-expression and self-realization of the personality that he carries, based on his convictions and accumulated experience. Marking the way of perfection through achievement as necessary but complex way, philosophers argue that the personality’s desire for achievement is realized only under certain conditions. Different approaches to the definition of the essence of personality’s achievements in psychology are considered. The concepts on «the personality’s achievement in activity» and his «personal achievements» are revealed. The essential characteristics of personality’s achievements are presented; the basis of human desire for achievements – natural and social aspects; conditions that affect the personality’s aspirations to achieve are also presented. It is indicated that the personality’s aspiration to achievements and the process of transforming achievements into personal ones is necessarily accompanied with the estimation process. The assessment of achievements is carried out both by the personality and by the people around.
