In terms of the main research question serious attention would be paid to V. P. Zinchenko's works and the methodological paradigm of cultural-historical psychology (cultural-historical epistemology) as role-model to interdisciplinary interaction of philosophy and the special sciences considering a Self-problem in philosophical and humanitarian aspects.
