Abstract. The main idea of the study is to show the disintegration of personality and appearance of “the collective unconscious” by analyzing this fragment of “Confession” by St Augustin. It allows coming to psychological defense aspect from phenomenological description of personality transformation process. When solving questions of love, St Augustin uses hidden rhetorical constructions, which reflect emotional processes in the most adequate way. However they should also be analyzed and clarified. The main idea of the study is to show the disintegration of personality and appearance of “the collective unconscious” by analyzing this fragment of “Confession” by St Augustin. It allows to come to psychological defense aspect from phenomenological description of personality transformation process. When solving questions of love, St Augustin uses hidden rhetorical constructions, which reflect emotional processes in the most adequate way. However they should also beanalyzed and clarified. The psychological aspect of this transformation can be reconstructed from that part of “Confession” where Augustin describes his Carthage impressions. He suffers psychological chaos: he “ran into love”, “loving love”. Augustin finally summarizes these impressions by saying “I haven’t loved yet, I only loved to love” So, “I love you” is normal expression. When strengthening the predicate, we come to formula “I love love you”. But these two phrases are totally different, because the hidden meaning of the second one is denying the first one. If we continue to strengthen it we come to formula “I love, love, love…” and it is what Augustin meant by saying “I loved to love”, thesis becomes antithesis and that is the circle. Augustin writes about “hell breath of wanting”, considering it to be the will’s mutation, demonization and destruction. It is necessary to divide the subject to come to next stage. So, we come to next formula “I love, love you”=”I(1) love you+ I(2) love you” where “I(1)” is different to “I(2)”. The next stage comes from dividing the initial integrity. The division stays hidden, but Augustin insists that it is dramatic because the collective personality is created for the cost of disintegration of initial personality. So, paradox and antinomy are parts of will. The key moment of soul division, when it’s reasonable part is considered to be the integrity of human abilities (main of them are will, memory, reason, emotions, mind). Soul disintegration is the integrity division. The disintegration is complete when the soul still possesses all these abilities but cannot unite then.
