Abstract. Man is the only creature in the world who can live in a situation of absurdity. The constantly deepening experience of rationalist comprehension of life and the terrible reluctance of reality to fit into this experience. An inexhaustible stream of creativity that creates destruction. The infinity of creation and the ultimate in human life ... The author of the article tries to identify the onto-anthropological nature of the absurd, showing that his source is the mind. Meeting with the absurd, we voluntarily immerse ourselves in it, recognizing its immutability and significance. Common sense and recklessness change places. We exchange psychopathic reactions with each other and rejoice that we participate in this voluntary insanity with impunity. The world cannot be changed or healed, say French postmodernists. It is important to adapt to it, sometimes turning inside out the meanings born in its bowels, because the understanding of meaning is possible only through the fragmentation of being, through a meeting with its absurdity. However, the problem is especially acute when a person who is forced by nature to constantly make choices finds himself in a situation where any alternative act is absurd.
Keywords: human being, existence, choice, freedom, socialization, reason, meaning, absurd, culture, beauty.
