In modern European culture there are two main types of unconscious structures. One accepts the value of individual existence, and staking on the pleasure principle, forces science to serve humanism, to make life more comfortable, immortal and painless. The other tradition is based on inequality of the subject to itself and demands permanent transformation of a reality by new Knowledge. The reality in this case represents an operative system making the subject simultaneously with object manufacture. This tradition demands new scientific objects to perform the subject as a dynamic process. Each of these traditions forces out the other as impossible and not true. Non-classical philosophy offers some theoretical tools to advance a solution of the problem. That is why I will speak in terminology of non-classical late Soviet Marxism and Lacanian psychoanalysis.
