Annotation: The concept of the subject and the concept of the subjectiveness in the Russian psychological science are examined in the article. The purpose of the study is to consider the concepts “the subject” and “the subjectiveness” and to show the possibility of interpreting the subjectiveness as the basis for the manifestation of spiritual capacities. The definitions of these concepts, the characteristics of the subject and the subjectiveness are given, analysed from the point of view of their significance for the manifestation of spiritual capacities. The subject’s qualities, distinguished by different researchers, the subject's capacities are described, criteria which allow to determine, whether a person manifests itself as a subject, are given. The approaches for the investigation of the subject are noted; the importance of the system-subjective approach for understanding and studying spiritual capacities is emphasised. The analysis of the concepts of the subject and the subjectiveness made it possible to conclude that the most general characteristics of the subject and the subjectiveness include: activity, integrity, sociality, value, uniqueness, self-development, awareness, freedom of choice and responsibility. These characteristics of the subjectiveness are decisive for the manifestation of spiritual capacities. A person acting as a subject, mobilising its subjective qualities, creates the possibility for the actualisation of spiritual capacities, their development and fruitful implementation in life.
Keywords: subject, subjectiveness, subjective qualities, characteristics of subject and subjectiveness, approaches for considering subject and subjectiveness, spiritual capacities, spiritual personality
