Summary/Abstract: Refering to plural explications of contemporary anthropological palette, the article is an attempt to account for “openness” of heterogeneous specificity of subjectivity as specifically human ontological reality. It’s emphasized panoramic view of specificity of human being assumes ultimate overcoming of metaphysical model of subjectivity as monadic immanence, the idea of immanence’ “breaking” as manifestation of “transcendent in immanent” (A. Renaut). Openness of the conceptual discourse of subjectivity, which is relevant to intersubjective structures and communicative mediations of practice and thinking, is the defining in theories of the Self and identity as excessive “first-personal” being (P. Ricoeur, V. Descombes, S. Chauvier), intersubjectivity conceptions of Other as a key factor of constitution of subjectivity (P. Ricoeur, E. Levinas, B. Wаldеnfels). The Self comes from ethical principle of I as a normative act of the will of subject – the “first-person perspective” agent (P. Ricoeur), or identity of a dynamic “I-idea”, which determines the relation of I to myself (S. Chauvier). The author emphasizes importance of the precognitive, prereflective level of organization of consciousness including temporal, affective and embodied being, intersubjective relations as constitutive dimensions of subjectivity. Foundation of subjective experience as the “for-me-ness”, “mineness” ownership by theories of primary subjectivity and the minimal Self in contemporary phenomenology and philosophy of mind corresponds to study of such primary structures (G. Strawson, D. Zahavi).
