Personality in the context of the cultural historical approach: reflections of a psychologist

We could hardly find people who would question the statement that personality creates culture and culture nourishes and raises personality, that they both are connected to each other in a very close spiritual way. The creation of culture by personality and the formation of personality by culture constitute a unified process though it is very familiar for the everyday cognition to treat them as independent acts. For example, many psychologists have forgotten that psychology is a study of soul. Sergey Averintsev once noted that humanities are studies without human. Every of them do has its own subject, but whatever this subject is it can't be a substitute neither for a human nor for a personality. The author of this paper first follows the tradition of separating the phenomena of culture and personality, but then tries to prove that they are tied in a unified, indivisible and unmerged whole.
