Summary/Abstract: This paper is a philosophical analysis of self-consciousness taking into account the achievements of modern sciences about consciousness. The author’s research interest focuses on problems of analysis of the first-person thinking and self-consciousness (self-consciousness and linguistic self-reference), disclosure of forms of primary preconceptual self-consciousness. External perception, where corporeality sets the boundaries of the visual field; internal perception — proprioception that gives pre-reflective sense of arrangement of parts of the body in space and in relation to each other and sense of limbs’ motion and preconceptual prehension.
