Аннотация:The aim is to show the disintegration of a personality by analyzing the fragment of “Confession” by St Augustine. By solving the questions of love St Augustine uses hidden rhetorical constructions, which reflect his emotional processes in the most adequate way. They should be analyzed and clarified. The psychological aspect of this transformation can be reconstructed from that part of “Confession”. He suffers psychological chaos: he “ran into love”, “loving love”. So, “I love you” is normal expression. By strengthening the predicate we come to formula “I love love you”. These two phrases are totally different. If we continue to strengthen it we come to formula “I love, love, love…” and it is what Augustine meant by saying “I loved to love”. The emotion has duration, but no place. This is a function of its own argument – F(f). Wittgenstein wrote in “Tractatus Logico-philosophicus” (1922), that a function cannot be its own argument. In “Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics” (1942) Wittgenstein returns to this topic. For the description of this contradiction Wittgenstein proposes a kind of function: ”F(F), where F(ξ) = – ξ(ξ)”. It is “a shimmering concept”. The experience of the emotion is a spatial event.
