If this is a diagnosis, then the path from it leads first back to the anamnesis and only then to the prospects: self-identification or - disintegration. A little sharp attention, and a picture appears, potentiated philosophically: into a problem, and nosologically: into a disease. That a person, from the very first steps he takes in the space of history, bangs his head against the problem of his identity, is proven by many ancient evidence, among which the decisive place belongs to the Delphic oracle “know thyself.” It is characteristic that he continues to fight against it even after he has taken it into his head to announce the end of history, and to do this where history has not even really begun, although history from there has been setting the tone for half a century. What Socrates and any of “us” have in common is that both do not know what a person is. Only ignorance of the first knows itself as ignorance, and ignorance of the second, not knowing anything about itself, passes itself off as knowledge. A labyrinth is a person in a dead end of identities: a consciousness that has fallen into the head, as if in a trap, and is vainly seeking a way out into the world, which it will never find until it remembers what came into the head from the world and - like the world...Karen SvasyanBook, Doctor of Philosophy Svasyan K.A., received first place in the competition of philosophical essays on the topics: “Man in the labyrinth of identities” and “Humanity at a crossroads: images of the future.” announced by the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences in collaboration with the journals “Questions of Philosophy”, “Political Class” " and the newspaper "Rossiyskaya Gazeta".
