Abstract. The article is devoted to the study of human being in the modern socialhumanitarian knowledge. As a reference for this study is the concept of the second pivotal time in the writings of professor Krapivensky. The authors point to a new storage paradigm of human understanding. They characterize this paradigm as a “naturalistic turn”. The authors examine the unsatisfactory features of naturalistic understanding of man, believing that it ignores immateriality in human being. In a separate concept in understanding the human nature is subject-centrism. Subject-centrism is similar to naturalism. The article presents experimental data (survey data and specific empirical observations), which indicates the absolute biological and physical nature of man in modern culture. As a result, there is a substitution of such absolute psycho-physiological characteristics of human immateriality. This substitution leads to the destruction of the main characteristics of the person (reflexive, adaptive, transcendental) in modern culture.
Key words: man, cognition, consciousness, subject-centrism, naturalism, cognitive sciences.
