Abstract.
The theme of human individuality was always relevant in European philosophy. Ancient natural philosophers, studying nature and the cosmos, came to the conclusion about the need to determine the place and role of a human being in the universe. In their opinion, a human being, of course, is subjected to the same laws of the cosmos, but at the same time, he/she has unique qualities that distinguish him/her from the rest of the world. If natural philosophy represented the human individuality in the context of the natural properties of the individual, then classical antiquity stated the problems of the moral bases of his/her life in the first place.
