Resumen
The paper considers culture as a complex formation, including various subsystems that ensure the formation of the axiological core of humanistic principles, the poles of which are elitism and mass character that coordinate this process. The evolution of culture is associated with the historical dynamics of philosophical and anthropological types of man. The analysis of the types of kalokagathiaproposed by A. F. Losev is undertaken. The opposition of the elite and the mass character has ancient roots, therefore, the philosophical and anthropological types of the kalokagathic person are identified, which vary between the domain of elitism and mass character in culture. Modern posthumanism provides society with new economic and political principles that are based not so much on ethical as on aesthetic values that do not imply establishing a balance between them, i.e. excluding freedom as a criterion for the stability of the socio-cultural space, forming a unique type of personality — a “mass personality”.
