Summary/Abstract: The holistic development of a society implies the holistic development of the individual. Both the dialectical term “development” and its transfer over the entire duration of life prove to be favorable of researching holistic personality development. The direction of development or the description of its content is dependent on the cultural–ideological context; the image regarding the human being and the moral values that underscore the concept. Yet despite cultural boundaries, various sizes and areas of personality development can be established and differentiated. On the other hand, a general meta–criterion can be formulated in setting the goal of personal development—often expressed by concepts like “mature personality” or “personality stable.” Thus, the active holistic support for the development of human personality proves to be an urgent need in the complex context of contemporary society.
