In the presented article, the problem of the metaphysical foundations of human personality in the modern world is brought to the foreground. The relevance of the study is due to the presence in contemporary culture of the phenomenon of human self-alienation, depreciation of the personal in man as a result of creation of cultural and scientific institutions, which appear as the embodiment of collective perception. The leading approach to the study of this problem is the ascent from the abstract to the concrete, which makes it possible to comprehend the phenomenon of personal participation of man in the world on the whole, key essence of spirituality and the significance of its adequate interpretation in human existence in the modern world. This study also used the dialectical method and hermeneutical analysis of texts that relate to the problems of the metaphysical foundations of human personality in the modern world. It is spirituality that is currently undergoing a false interpretation, since spirit and mind are identified. Thus, the mind is a service tool of being as will and is placed in the sphere of culture. The spirit turns out to be utilitarian intelligence and is defined as the cultivation of certain values. The conducted analysis shows that the possibility of personal self-identification in the world is only possible thanks to the participation in existence, in that which forms and preserves the human essence and is the manifestation of its being.
