Abstract

This article investigates the problem of Egoism which is analysed through the prism of the ontological approach to belief. Individual, social, cultural and spiritual types of egoism are considered as possible scenarios of losing ontological belief. It is concluded here that belief realizing itself as self- identification, axiological attitude and succession of values and service, is the mechanism of getting over egoism. This article can be interesting not only for philosophers, teachers and psychologists, but also for those who are interested in studying problems of personality formation.
