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 Nossack keep 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 incessant (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.
