Summary/Abstract: lndividuality-an evident characteristic of each and every one of life's phenomenons, Man or thing, cultural works or scientific discoveries. And, like most obvious concepts in classical rationality it didn't require any theories or analysis, on the contrary, theoretical thought always veered away from the individual, instead addressing the general or common, aspiring to find, in essence, the characteristics of worl phenomena. Cultural philosophy essentially defines the uniqueness of world experiences, above all else, those of Man, because Man's identity is precisely where individuality is found in its most complete form. We find this concept under "anthropological concepts" in western philosophy, and of course, in Russian philosophy which focuses on anthropological problems. The particularity of Russian philosophical thought lies in the fact that not only does it investigate the identity of humanities Being, but it also delves into its signijicance and meaning or essence, the idea of "Man within culture".
