Cultural identification as a possible implementation of a choice and individual liberty

Abstract

Abstract. Different forms of cultural identification objectively formed in certain historical epochs are the prerequisites for the implementation of individual freedom through individual choice. The latter has a myriad of interpretations, types and purposes. The circle of authors who identified the problem of cultural identification is wide. The methodological basis of our reasoning was the concepts by G. Simmel, E. Giddens, N. Elias, G. Abramson, M. Malerb, J. Fraser, G.V. Drach, S.G. Kliashtornyi, and others. Of course, this does not erase the more fundamental problem of man's mastery of his nature. This side of the problem necessarily assumes a historical and empirical individuality, this truth, indeed, is the "daughter of time" (beginning with Mark Tullius Cicero...). This is the first aspect of identification. The opposite aspect is connected with the situation of out-of-being in time as a condition of universal regularity.
