metadata.value: This article investigates the concept of identity: the research objective is to consider the principles
  that can be used to unite various approaches to describing the emergence and transformation
  of human identity. The research method is a comparative analysis of significant theories of
  Western philosophy in terms of the achievements of modern interdisciplinary research. Within
  Western philosophy, most concepts of identity can be classified as belonging to individualcentric
  or socio-centric research models. Therefore, such a distinction serves as the starting
  point to discuss the emergence and transformation of the concept of identity. The provided
  analysis reveals two facts. First, the investigation starts either from individual human experience
  or from social communication structures, this choice determining further research as
  individual-centric or sociocentric. Second, it is ultimately impossible to reduce an individual
  experience or social effect to their opposition: both individual and social beings determine the
  emergence and functioning of human identity. Hence, human identity should be considered as
  a result of interaction between individual and social beings. Within contemporary epistemology,
  the activity realism approach provides a theoretical foundation for explaining identity as
  an outcome of human active cognition and the transformation of the environment. Thus, this
  article provides a theoretical foundation for the empirically confirmed fact that human identity
  is determined by all influential factors present in the lifeworld. Any theory that neglects
  any efficient causes for the formation of identity in concrete circumstances of time, space, and
  culture inevitably fails. The practical value of this article is to create a theoretical foundation
  for empirical research on natural or artificial transformations of human identity in specific
  circumstances of cross-cultural communication and competition.
