During the analysis the various ways of ascension to the person in teaching were pointed out. The authors offered their approved ways of addressing a personality in teaching, proposed new ideas concerning the implementation of the humanitarian principles in the process of education. The review of the works showed variability and individuality of this approach in the teaching process. Every teacher chooses his own path on the way of humanitarization. The reviewed works reveal some ways of focusing on the personality through the contents, through the pedagogical conditions, with the help of some particular means. Such keen interest of scientists to the process of humanitarization of education helps to comprehend and find problems in the system of modern higher education and, as a result, to solve these problems.
