Abstract

The paper focuses on the importance of L.I. Bozhovich's ideas in the context of new research programmes on consciousness. It reveals the basic characteristics of the psychological system (L. S. Vygotsky) underlying L.I. Bozhovich's research on the problem of personality formation in childhood (the motivational sphere as a core factor, the structure of motives, the hierarchy of motives, etc.) The formation and dynamics of consciousness in L.I. Bozhovich’s system is realized both in the processes of external determination and in self-determination of personality (novelty-seeking, internal position). The psychological systems of Vygotsky and Bozhovich are considered as complementary in their views on such components of consciousness as intellect (communication, understanding, synthesis) and affect (the need for new experiences, mediated motives, inner position). Modern technological progress promotes the next cultural-historical inversion of the ‘affect/intellect’ dilemma determined by the increasing digitalization processess (artificial intelligence) and social communication.
