Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the evolution of the linguistic prohibitions noted by French philosopher M. Foucault and the relationship of insanity and literature which has emerged in the perspective of such prohibitions. Such a relationship is called the language of absolute incompatibility, or the language of the dividing line between insanity and literature. Also, the article represent the idea of autoimplicative language which justifies this relationship and the changes of insanity status associated with the above mentioned idea, it formulates the anthropological structure based on the model of separation and characterizes its essential element – „apophatically“ interpreted phenomenon of subconsciousness.
