Abstract
The article concerns issues of destruction with respect to a subject in alienation conditions. Alienation is considered a definite way of being, chosen by a human, which violates a human’s ontological freedom, thereby leading to a decline in his subjectivity. An alienated consciousness generates the invertedness of subject-object relations, leading to a bifurcation of the personality and to the loss of an individual’s subjectivity and inner freedom. Unlike viewpoints that believe the objective grounds of alienation represented in external forces, such as society, the state, etc., determine the internal world of a subject, I claim that: first of all, in his mind, a subject creates alienated values that are opposite to the concept of ontological freedom as a general foundation of humans, thus generating his self-estrangement and the irrational actions that can be expressions of the personal and impersonal mental conflict. The methods of philosophical reflection and logical analysis of psychoanalytic materials are applied. S. Freud’s notion of splitting ego is explained first by the mental character of alienation.
