Existence of idleness

Abstract

The article is devoted to existential dimentions of idleness as complicated and contra-versal sociocultural phenomenon. The possibility of creative self-improvement and social and spiritual elitisation of a person by means of certain controlled practices of idleness is funded as well as the prospect of personal deprivation undergoing negative scenarios of idle existence. Communicative character of idleness and its protest potential are analyzed as well.
