Summary/Abstract: The article shows that the history of culture is saturated with problems related to the development of intentions and values unique origin. There are such problems, consideration of which requires «experience» and «stay» Absolutes worthy of the name of ideals and values. The solution to these problems requires an individual life experience that represents the integrity that is your unique, individual relationship to these ideals and values. Immersed in this culture, learning the «external» man creates himself and his personality. It is proved that the spiritual situation of the XXІ century has put the person in specific conditions. More than ever, it needs to resist the loss of the meaning of his existence. But this process is impossible without «design» themselves, create their forms of life. So the question arises about the fate of the human spirit, for the spirit is freedom, creativity, intelligence, value, independence from the external world, natural and social. The spirit is not evident, it is not manifestating, elusive and therefore cannot be reduced to what can be manifestating logic, beliefs, religion. Any social shocks, especially shocks to the global, through the human soul, and leave its mark on her, forming some kind of new beginning in an objective and data the origins of the spiritual organization of man. Therefore, it is justified in the interest of social philosophy to a specific pole of human reality to the forms of human spiritual existence. And, apparently, only in one interval it is impossible to reveal how the very nature and ontological status of the phenomenon of the spiritual. A spiritual person particular person does not fit into any polarity. Spiritual reality as a special reality of human existence presupposes the inclusion in the history of the human spirit. It is shown that the rejection of the ancient rationalist tradition began in the midnineteenth century, although some time the favor of scientists and public opinion was on the side of those who believed in reason and its possibilities, guarantees a universal world order based on the truths they preach. There are diverse perspectives and values of human existence, other ways of revealing his spiritual potencies. New thinkers argued against the classical values of reason and tried to justify increasing society’s realization of the meaninglessness and safety of human existence. According to them, the world is becoming more and more hostile to man. In these circumstances the Central task of perception is the search for one’s own strength, relying on yourself and your own spiritual self-determination. Not accidentally, the deep ideological shifts found its origins in the real Genesis of the modern world, and not coincidentally, they are concentrated in different quality conditions, around the spiritual principle in man. In philosophical studies dedicated to issues of spirituality, spirituality is analyzed in the contexts of epistemology and ontology. Epistemological perspective the ability to see the spiritual world reflects the reality as it looks in the light of objective truth. Ontological causes are the following: how spirituality defines the space of human existence in the world independent of him, and how spirituality itself is determined by the opportunities allowed by the world.
