In this work, the concepts of personality, culture, dignity are considered in dialectical interconnectedness and interdependence. The main difficulties of their definitions are revealed. The author investigates the conceptual approach of I. G. Fichte to the correlation of the concepts of personality, culture and dignity through the prism of his general metaphysical principles. The duality of understanding the culture of I. G. Fichte has been elucidated. The enduring value of Fichte’s idea that culture is and should be understood as the highest ultimate goal of all mankind is noted.
