The unity of natural and cultural in a person in the context of modern transformational processes of society

Skopa V. A.

The article deals with the problem of the unity of natural and cultural in man in the context of modern transformational processes of society. Special attention is paid to education as an institution that forms a social personality. Within the framework of the educational environment, everyone creates their own "cultural system". It has been determined that consciousness and morality should act as defining elements of social regulation of people's behavior. The analysis of the doctrines about man allows us to single out several models of the interpretation of human nature: the naturalistic version of understanding the nature of man; evolutionary theory of Darwin; instinctiveism; social version; gene-cultural coevolution and biocultural anthropology. It is revealed that human nature is a single biocultural integrity. The biocultural approach views humans as a biological, social and cultural being. This includes considering biological variability as a function of response and adaptation to the environment in terms of taking into account the needs of the socio-cultural sphere.
