摘要
The article considers a fundamental contradiction between a hypertrophied desire to freely pursue one's goals and the insuperability of fate that is inherent in Mikhail Lermontov's novel Hero of Our Time [Geroi nashego vremeni] in which the drive for freedom precipitates meaningless rebellion. The collision between thought (awareness contradiction) and the vital impulse (elan vital) causes the identity of the hero to split: thought turns out to be fruitless and life hopeless. This contradiction is symptomatic of cultural degeneration, and of the transformation of cultural values into simulacrathe superfluous man is a simulacrum of identity.
