Self-Determination of a Man in the Information-Oriented Society // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2004. Issue 2 (39). P. 72-77

In the article the notion «self-determination of a personality», having been worked out by philosophical anthropology, psychology, pedagogics, sociology from the middle of the XX-th century, is analyzed. The primary attention is focused on the philosophic-ethical meaning of this notion, which is close, though non-synonymous, to the notion «self-destination», in a broad sense understood as a defining by man the meaning of his existence, and in a narrow sense – as an active protection, conservation of personal ethical values in everyday interaction with other people.
