Abstract

The article devoted to the crisis of identity analysis in the postmodern culture highlights the system of identity state causes and associated with the globalization processes of modern society and its transformation as in general. It also examines the influence of these causes on the personality formation. The proprietary attempt to draw attention to the similarities between the Epicurean, Stoic and Skeptical trends of the Hellenistic era was made and it became significant in a historical perspective. An interesting interchange between the epochs could be considered and separated by approximately two millennia, the ancient skepticism localized in the Perron and his followers’ studies as some kind of relativism and agnosticism. If we proceed from the fact that the ancient world is the birthplace of modern European humanity, the modern society roots, among other things built on the postmodern demonopolization of truth, in many respects go back to the Hellenistic era. The attitude of thinking towards reality of the nature and criteria of true knowledge is to be considered as an indubitable philosophical merit. The Hellenistic philosophy characterized by “internal emigration”; not anthropological, but "existential" plot twist of philosophical ideas, an individualistic orientation, in many respects anticipated modern epistemological, ethical and socio-philosophical ideas, and its representatives considered in a broad historical context turn into not the “marginal” thinkers of their era, but real prophets in the world philosophical ideas.
