System anthropological psychology: framework of categories

Modern psychology is realizing the ideals of postnonclassical rationality, and this fact makes the issue of understanding the conceptual frame of the science and its framework of categories very important. It is determined by the fact that with the admission of postnonclassical paradigm the pronounced transformation of the subject of psychology is going on. It becomes global. Earlier the mind determined by empirical properties was the subject, however, now the subject of psychology is a person (and his mind) concerned as an open self-developing and self-organizing system. The mind and the consciousness are greeting in new (system-wide, emergent and functional) properties and qualities, they bring out the need in attracting new concepts and categories, and in review of existing ones that change their informatory structure being included in new framework of categories. It is demonstrated on the example of system anthropological psychology as a research area, that knowingly masters methodological paradigms of postnonclassical level, how content features of the main categories of psychology (the mind, the consciousness) when considering in the context of a person understood as a self-developing system change. The change of beliefs about the essence and mechanisms of ontogenesis leads to the fact that new concepts that fix stages and levels of consciousness formation (objective consciousness, sense consciousness, value consciousness) appear. Changes of beliefs about science (self)development mechanisms allows us to follow the trends of psychology development and to observe how new methodological principles and theses (transdisciplinary approach, transtemporality, system-determination approach, etc.) appear
