    Abstract:
    The paper attempts to dive into the problem of the formation of a possible person from the position of the transdisciplinarity of the existing knowledge about a single substance (B. Spinoza), cognizability of the world (I.M. Sechenov), personality and society (N.A. Berdyaev), man in culture (M.K. Mamardashvili, V.P. Zinchenko), the problem of the ideal (E.V. Ilyenkov), objectivity and subjectivity of consciousness (M.M. Bakhtin, G.G. Shpet), as well as cultural-historical, activity paradigms of human mental development (L.S. Vygotsky, A.R. Luria, A.N. Leontiev, etc.), cultural-analytical approach. Since the truth, according to M.M. Bakhtin, is fundamentally incompatible within the limits of one consciousness, we invited outstanding thinkers of the past and present from various fields of science and art to a correspondence dialogue. After all, truth is always eventful, it is born at the point of contact of different consciousnesses. The limitations of scientific concepts in understanding the essence of the movement of a holistic person to a possible person are overcome by the presence of living metaphors in the text. The starting point in the reasoning is the thesis about the vital bodily-spiritual unity of a child who naturally lives simultaneously in the past, present, future, real and imaginary worlds, endowed with the main passion of a person – to be, to be fulfilled, to take place. The main issue discussed in the article is the possibility of a child reaching the ultimate state, striving for which he can become a possible person, able to form himself personally, despite any external circumstances (M.K. Mamardashvili), that is, constantly in various activities and actions to perform an act of surpassing himself. A number of arguments are given in favor of this. Among them: the presence of unlimited development potentials in the newborn in the form of fused sensory-emotional-motor reactions (innate reflexes) and extreme sensitivity to environmental influences, thanks to which the child is able to accept any trajectory of development under the influence of a «humanized and humanizing environment»; the appearance of elements of thought from feeling; the emergence of memory – the primary fact of personality, and the unity of universal and individual consciousness associated with it, familiarization with the material Universe – from its timeless beginning to its timeless end; substantiation of the thesis that a person is not a set of functions, and a certain dynamic integrity of a person means that the main thing in teaching and upbringing is, based on the natural biological laws of development, the introduction of the child with universal values in joint – dividing activity, Intermediary Action in terms of B.D. Elkonin [17; 29; 38; 39], stimulating living acts that contribute to the manifestation of the student's abilities and efforts of a historical person embedded in a cultural subject; his comprehension of the meaning of life situations, their creative understanding, the emergence of an experience of the responsibility of an act as the first phenomena of possible human development.
