It is difficult to overestimate the relevance of understanding the manifestation of the duality of human nature. For many centuries, starting with Plato, philosophers and thinkers have sought to understand what this phenomenon of human nature is and what consequences it leads to. One of such philosophers and thinkers was the Russian writer F. M. Dostoevsky, who conceptualized duality as a split self and postulated it as a fundamental anthropological principle. The article analyzes the content of the concept of human duality, which is understood by F.M. Dostoevsky is most complete in the type of "underground man", and the reception of the ideas of F.M. Dostoevsky in the works of the Russian writer L. N. Andreev and the Norwegian playwright J. Fosse. For the first time, duality in the work "Judas Iscariot" is understood as subjectivity, which seeks to subdue reality, overcoming the meaninglessness of reality, and also the origins of the bifurcation of the hero of the novel J. Fosse In the philosophy of F.M. Dostoevsky, L. Andreev creates Judas Iscariot, who belongs to subjectivity and lives not among what exists, but among what is given. And J. Fosse creates an image of a person who resists the world of the present, lives in dreams, dreams, visions and gradually moves towards a radical reduction of existence. Attempts to ask about a person in an anti-project and anti-doctrinal way create an opportunity to overcome the elimination of a person from philosophical discourse. The main research methods are comparative, textual and anthropological analysis of the concepts of selected thinkers. A conscious advantage is given to the anthropological method, as such, which helps to achieve the purpose of this article.
