Preface

In the first issue of the " Vestnik of St. Petersburg State University. Psychology " 2020.articles on various problems of psychological science are published.

The section, which includes works on the theory and methodology of psychology, opens with an article by T. D. Marcinkovskaya "The psychological concept of S. L. Rubinstein in the context of the ideas of I. V. Goethe and V. I. Vernadsky". In 2019, the psychological community celebrated the 130th anniversary of the birth of S. L. Rubinstein — an outstanding scientist, one of the founders of the Russian psychological science. Interest in his work does not subside, and this is not a tribute to the history of psychology: Rubinstein's ideas closely echo the modern trends in the development of psychological science, in particular in the field of personality psychology.
