Abstract
Abstract In the article the central problem of consciousness is stated in complex of natural, social sciences and humanities. The space for modern consciousness research is being analyzed; on the one hand from neural and physiological to the cognitive, social and communicational, and on the other hand from feasibility of conscious activity to the value characteristic of consciousness-the contemplation. The basic psychological concepts of consciousness, issued by the Russian researchers, have been pointed out: dichotomous, structural, psychosemantic, psychological, mental, communicative, META, etc. The methodical aspect of scientific knowledge in solving the problem of consciousness, as opposed to projective (authoritative) and conventional discourses, is being discussed.
