Summary/Abstract: The Author in his article marks out that the rule of identity has the key meaning, not only in philosophy but also in every domain of knowledge and culture. He reckons that this rule should be accepted in relation to every area of reality. However, it shows that the problem is more complicated. It pays attention to the finder of the identity rule – Parmenides. In the conclusions, he emphasises that from the perspective of the history, finding the identity rule not only had a philosophical but also cultural and civilisational meaning. This rule as the conscious afterthought laid the foundations for the Greek and Western culture, especially Latin civilisation. For this reason, the Author notices that the paper on reclaiming and building your own identity is a whole life task for every human being. Since man has to build his/her identity and preserve it till the end, then it is an integral and mature identity, the identity to the extent of a complete human being.
