Summary
Using the experience of science and philosophy the issue of "What is a man?"
is discussed. General understanding of human being is based on the analysis of culture, society and mind and on the nalysis of cognitive, evaluative,
practical ralations of man to the reality. The essential aproach is combined
with the issue of individual human existence. The special importance of
society as a system of conditions for human life is emphasized.
