Summary/Abstract: The rapid civilizational progress and development of the virtual world that has taken place in the 21st century has changed the manner of being and functioning of human beings. In a situation of growing autonomy of the person in the field of access to information; as well as expectations in the field of independence in creating their own development; the issue of reflexivity has become particularly important. This is all the more so given the fact that the reflective deficits of today are arousing concern about individual personal development. Therefore; the subject of theoretical analysis will be the issue of reflexivity in relation to the axionormative chaos that is present in the world. The dimensions of reflexivity will be discussed; before the concepts relating to reflexivity and unreflectivity are presented; with reflexivity shown as an important development task.
