Ethnopsychological bases of semantic system of human life development

Abstract. The cultural environment has defining impact on the mental condition of the person mediated by consciousness. The conscious relation to the cultural environment brings life and the person’s activity into accord, filling it with sense in the course of the world cognition. It assumes the content of aspects of the selfunderstanding, defined as the sense of consciousness, i.e. reestablishing semantic relations, allowing realization of tasks concerning sense of object, phenomenon and action.
