In order to understand the essence of a scientific problem better it is useful to follow the sources of its origin and the ways of its development. In our work we try to find the answer to the question how personality and professional identity was understood by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. The method of the research was the analysis of works both by Plato and by the modern authors writing about him. We may note that Plato did not use the notion „identity”. But his conception of the development of the personality includes the criteria of modern understanding of identity (the time and social aspects). According to Plato, the basis of the personality and professional development of a person is his/her understanding of justice. The principle of justice, in its turn, provides the sustainable development of society.
