The Formal Logical Paradox and the Ontological Status of the Concept of “Pure (Strict) Individual”

The subject of the paper is the problem of the logi-cal status of the concept of “pure (strict) individu-al”. The author states that this problem has a huge impact on various spheres of human activity. There-fore, it is necessary to consider the existing para-doxes in this area in order to understand more clear-ly not only peculiarities of the term “individual” us-age, but also its essence as the philosophical phe-nomenon. At the end the author makes a conclusion that the concept of “pure (strict) individual” is para-doxical in its nature and its using in logical analysis is incorrect, therefore, the concept of “individual” cannot be uniquely determined. The author consider that such a conclusion can be applied in various fields of human activity, for example, it is incorrect logically to develop methodological approaches aimed at the development of individuality or individ-ual work with a person.
