Abstract
Introduction. In modern scientific discourse and in the space of mass media, the narrative of identity occupies an increasingly important place. The gap between human naturalistic attributions and constructivist identities creates problems in regulating social processes and causes legitimate concern in the scientific and political community. The negative aspects of this phenomenon - the appearance of artificial identities - require analysis. The attitude towards this phenomenon depends on the identification of the place of self-identification process in the the social system functioning. Methodology. The modern scientific paradigm presupposes the consideration of society as a self-developing system, that is, immanently capable of reformatting its own structures. At the same time, a large place in the concepts formation of social dynamics is given to the principle of teleology, which not only allows, but presupposes the impossibility of excluding the observer - a significant role of the cognizing subject, a person, in constructing the reality in which he exists. The general principles of the post-non-classical paradigm of science in social knowledge have been embodied in a number of concepts. The study of the phenomenon of multiple identity is based on the concepts of autopoiesis of Maturana and Varela, the Sedov-Ashby diversity law, and a systematic approach in psychology developed by a number of Russian authors (for example: Hansen, Gorbatenko, Lomov). Discussion. Based on the laws of functioning of self-developing systems and their correlation with social dynamics, a conclusion is drawn about the necessary and natural emergence of constructive and multiple identities, the formation of which is associated with the need to form personality qualities congruent to new civilizational realities. Conclusion. The phenomenon of multiple self-identification is an element of the homeoresis mechanism of the social system, which makes it possible to overcome a crisis situation and maintain a stable trajectory of development in an unstable reality.
