metadata.value: The concept of ‘identity’ increasingly appears in the space of public discussions of modernity:
  it is referred to by social activists, it is studied by academics, and its violations worry
  legal scholars and human rights advocates. Indirectly, the very fact of such active reference
  suggests that contemporary society is experiencing an identity crisis. This fact is stated by
  representatives of many disciplines (sociology, cultural studies, psychology, etc.), however, it
  is still understudied. Philosophy is not an exception in this case. Modern philosophers speak
  about identity (political, cultural, social, civic, etc.), but rarely attempt a full-fledged philosophical
  analysis of this phenomenon. In this connection, it is not surprising that there is no
  classification of philosophical theories of identity or analysis of their methodological foundations
  in the academic literature. Thus, the paper aims to provide an overview of theoretical
  and methodological approaches to the study of identity in contemporary philosophy. As a
  result of applying methods of contextual analysis, comparative analysis, and rational historical
  and philosophical reconstruction to contemporary philosophical material on identity we
  have managed to identify four main approaches: Freudomarxism (S. Žižek), Poststructuralism
  (J. Butler), Multiculturalism (C. Taylor), and Philosophical Hermeneutics (P. Ricoeur). Their
  substantive specificity stems from the peculiarities of their theoretical foundations and the theoretical and pragmatic aims of their representatives and, as a consequence, entails some
  drawbacks, which should be taken into account in the future development of identity theory
  in philosophy.
