Specificity of the World of Mental Phenomena in the Philosophical Psychology of S.L. Frank

The aim of this article is to show the specificity of the world of mental phenomena in the philosophical psychol-ogy of S.L. Frank, to consider the composition and essence of mental processes and phenomena, using the ontological status of human existence. S.L. Frank contrasts the naturalistic understanding of the phenomena of life with the experience of ideal immersion in the element of mental life, since the empirical nature of psycho-logical knowledge does not allow to take into account the absolute basis and content of personality. It is neces-sary to define the concept of soul life through the context of the inner world and human consciousness, since only on the basis of the soul as an integral substance is the emergence and development of consciousness and self-consciousness possible. Historical and philosophical analysis of the heritage of the Russian thinker of the XX century allowed us to formulate preliminary conclusions of the study, the specificity of soul phenomena is shown, the nature of soul life as an actual reality, on the basis of which consciousness is possible, is defined.
