The History of Personality

Abstract

The article carries on a thorough research of the history and development of the concept "personality". It is shown that the components of the idea "personality" were based on one another historically: at first there was individuality, then-personality, after I. Kant there was personalization. Only after the European Reformation the notion "personality" establishes itself with its complete features. There is an independent existence of a person in it. A particular area is formed in anthropology which is called personology.
