The article "From the angel to the man. About Hans Erich Nossack’s and Karl Japsers’s
cognitive structure of the I” relates the problem of forming of the human nature. The protagonists
of Nossack’s works experience their angels when the deepest part of man’s I sets free as result of
the friction between the internal and external world. It is revealed as an impalpable glittering that
strikes with the vision of the existence of a higher level - a glittering whose tension is produced by
an absorbing contact with death, with art or with another individual. The angels by silence over what the angels by Jaspers talk about. They deny that the man coming into the world
is ready-made and summon him to look for the sense of the existence through the (re)constructing of himself. Owing to that they give the direction to the existence and constitute
themselves as the most exacting and ownest idea. A dare devil who tries to robe it with the matter
annihilates himself. He dies by condemning his angel to the extermination in that consequence
because in the empiric reality filled brim-full there is neither a place for doubling the matter of one
being nor a place for living without the idea that completes the life with the spirit.
