The Phenomena of Socrates and Anti-Socrates in Connection with the Clarity of Self-Concept and the Reflexivity of the Personality

Any science is directed into the world of the unknown, any science longs to be beyond the horizon already from the existing knowledge. In many scientific views, “unknown” is referred to as “lack of knowledge about the reality being studied”, and “unknown” is not considered in itself as a valuable phenomenon, in particular, the I-unknown, with participation in the life process. In this work, the purpose of which is to study the phenomena of Socrates and Anti-Socrates in connection with the clarity of self-concept and reflexivity of the personality, the scientific and theoretical views on the essence of the phenomena "I", "self-knowledge", "reflexivity" and "I-concept" are analyzed; we will give a substantiation of the phenomena of Socrates and Anti-Socrates in the context of personology and personality psychology, the results of an empirical study of knowledge-ignorance of oneself and acceptance-rejection of the unknown in themselves by people with different levels of severity of reflexivity and clarity of self-concept are presented. On the basis of the study, the main theoretical provisions on the phenomena of Socrates and Anti-Socrates were developed - definitions, substantiation of the essence of phenomena and their place in the psychological field, as well as a new model of typology of Socrates and Anti-Socrates, including the types of "Classic Socrates" , "Perspective Socrates", "Classic Anti-Socrates", "Perspective Anti-Socrates".
