James, G.G. Shpet, M.M. Bakhtin, L.S Vygotsky, A.N. Leotiev, M.K. Mamardashvili. Evaluation of neurophysiologic reductionism is made. The article thoroughly studies the properties of conscientiousness: dialogism and the related cultural and historical sources of conscientiousness; beingness, semantic features, the polyphony of conscientiousness. «Polyphonic thinking» (M.M. Bakhtin) is examined as a means of investigation of the conscientiousness. The metaphor of the flow of conscientiousness is supplemented with a metaphor of the tissue of conscientiousness. The requirements for conscientiousness structuring are formulated and a preliminary version of conscientiousness structure is briefly described.
